Levin Group Recruiter Interview Questions
& Process

I was initially contacted via LinkedIn by a Senior Recruiter in early December 2021 for a role. The process began with three tests: a brief phone interview, a 20-minute email skills assignment, and a quiz. After successfully passing these, I was informed I'd have a second stage interview with the manager. However, there were significant issues. First, the recruiter mistakenly scheduled me for the wrong role (storm3 instead of storm4), and initially denied the error. He then stated the manager was on vacation until after Christmas, returning in early January. By the second week of January, I hadn't heard back. The recruiter eventually called, apologized for the delay, and offered me a choice between a role I wasn't interested in (storm2) or storm4 with an April 2022 start. After reiterating my interest in storm4, he promised to schedule the interview for the following week (third week of January) and send an email, which never came. I even emailed him my availability for that week. Despite no direct response, I received an automated rejection email a week later stating they preferred other candidates. Interestingly, I received another offer that same day. I feel the recruiter was unprofessional, made many mistakes, and disrespected my time. The company seemed disorganized, evidenced by another recruiter reaching out for the same position while I was already in the process. Ultimately, I'm glad I didn't proceed, as it would have been a waste of time for my career.

Instead of a video call, it was a telephone interview. We began with introductions and a clear explanation of the company, then moved on to questions about myself, my ambitions, my understanding of the role, and my expectations.

The interview process was very formulaic and the questions asked were standard, but the interviewers were friendly and I had a good time overall. Unfortunately, I never received any feedback and they ghosted me after the interview, making me feel like just another data point.
