MarketStar Specialist Interview Questions
& Process

I went through two phone interviews. The first one was more of a 'get to know you' chat and they explained the role. The second interview was technical, where they asked me about operating systems and my tech experience. They seem to really value someone who's a 'people person'.

I got a recruiter call for a Google Chrome Specialist role, which was a brief phone interview. Then I got an email and had an interview with the hiring manager. After not hearing back for 7 days, I contacted the recruiter who noticed I applied for a Sony position. The next day, I had a HireVue video interview with the recruiter. Three days later, the hiring manager called with an offer. I was given 48 hours for background checks, new hire paperwork, and a drug test. After that, I got an email confirming everything was clear and a call from my regional manager was scheduled for training. They have a cool, futuristic approach to video interviewing.

Your market manager will likely call you first to talk about the hours, days, and pay. They'll ask if you're interested in proceeding to an interview. I'm not sure if there's an immediate short interview, but someone else will call you for a phone interview a day or so later. They'll schedule a specific time for this interview, so it won't be a random call. The market manager doesn't conduct the interview. During the interview, they ask standard questions and some technology-related questions to check your knowledge. For me, they asked things like explaining Bluetooth or the difference between matte and glossy monitor finishes. If they're happy with you, they'll start the hiring process. You'll digitally sign documents on a website and need to complete a drug test within a day or so. If you need to travel out of state for training, they'll arrange your flights.
