netPolarity Recruiter Interview Questions
& Process

I met with two trainers and the President, David. The first trainer got to know me, asked about my hobbies, and explained the duties of a technical sourcer. The second person was really thorough, reviewing my resume to understand my motivations and career path. They also screened my technical background to ensure I'd be comfortable learning more about technology. Talking with David was intimidating at first, but I presented myself confidently, showing my excitement for entering a new field. He then shared the company's history and business model, which was very insightful about the growth in the tech staffing industry.

I had interviews with 3 people on the same day, but at different times. It was strange because they all asked me the same questions, so I had to repeat myself. It wasn't a very fun interview experience.

The interview process involves 3 steps: a phone call, an in-person meeting with a recruiter, and then an interview with the president. Initially, I was excited about this opportunity, as recruiting seems like a very interesting job. However, several red flags came up during the job offer process, leading me to turn down the offer. Their hiring model is to bring everyone in as a sourcer/recruiter first, and then after a 60-90 day training period, they select you for a role that best fits you. My concern is that during this training, you're paid a very low hourly wage of $14.63, with the promise of a higher rate plus commission after training. When I asked about the post-training hourly rate, no one could give a clear answer or explain the commission structure. I wasn't willing to commit 60-90 days without knowing my earning potential. During the paperwork stage, I was asked to sign a form stating the training was valued at $10,000, and if I left within a year, I'd owe that amount back. The President could waive this fee, but it felt unfair since the training is mandatory. This clause also makes me wonder how many people leave within the first year. The HR representative couldn't clarify when the President might waive the fee. The office also seemed disorganized; the HR rep misplaced some paperwork, and the 'crucial' training was postponed for new hires. While some may be happy with this company, it wasn't the right fit for me.
