Behavioral Presentation

Submitted resume and heard back for a phone interview in 3-5 days. Then had an in-person interview with two managers who were condescending and rude. They said they'd follow up within a week or two, but after 4 weeks of no response, I realized I wouldn't get the job. They didn't even bother to inform me of their decision, which changed my positive view of Kimpton.

My interview experience with Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants was great. I first spoke with Beth from Talent Acquisition for an intro phone call. Beth was super responsive, nice, and helpful. Then I had several more phone interviews before getting an offer. Everyone I talked to was genuine, engaging, funny, and professional. I felt really comfortable and like they wanted me to succeed. The candidate experience at Kimpton is world-class and shows their authentic company culture.

I had an interview with the general manager and the executive chef that lasted about an hour. The conversation was good, informative, and very positive. The GM provided great details about the role they need to fill, the company's culture, and his expectations for current and future staff. The Chef shared his background in the industry and what motivates him to excel.
