NeuroLeadership Institute Project Manager Interview Questions
& Process

It was a breath of fresh air! The recruitment team was friendly and attentive, with a really quick turnaround. The recruitment process itself was science-based but creatively designed, unlike anything I've experienced before.

Hands down the best candidate experience I've ever had. The process was quick, recruiter was thorough, responsive, and beyond helpful throughout. Started with a phone screen with the recruiter, moved to a series of online assessments which were interesting, challenging, and really made me feel that NLI does its due diligence on potential candidates. Following the assessment, I was scheduled for the next series of interview. They were kind and flexible enough to offer to do so over Skype, but as I'm only a brief train ride from Manhattan, I offered to meet in person. Upon entering the office, I was greeted instantly by a welcoming employee covering the desk for the usual receptionist (such teamwork!), and asked how they could make me more comfortable as I waited for the interviews to begin. As I was around 15 minutes early, I was checked in with regularly to make sure I had everything I needed to feel ready for my interview. The hiring manager, an associate with a title I'd be reporting into, and an associate with the title I'd be moving into interviewed me. They asked insightful questions about my experience, as well as some behavioral-based questions to get insights on how I would/have reacted in certain situations. The questions were direct, and revealing - another indicator of how seriously they take the hiring process. They were kind enough to allow me an additional 15 minutes for me to ask my questions, in spite of needing to run over another internal meeting. The offer came quickly - Two business days after the interview. They were generous in the offer, and transparent with interview feedback. The recruiter spent a fair deal of time answering my questions about next steps, what to expect in terms of benefits and salary offerings, and answering other various questions candidly to help prepare me for a fantastic hiring experience. They even allowed me to provide three weeks' notice to my current employer, knowing that the staffing situation their was a bit tight. Since then, they've gotten me set up with all the access and equipment I need to start off on the right foot. Everyone has been pleasant, enthusiastic, and kind - I'm so excited to join the team!

The interview process is very thorough, challenging, but impersonal. You will be screened by a recruiter then asked to take a multitude of assessments (3 hrs). If your assessment results are desirable to the role, you will move onto the next stage which will be an hour task. After completing the task, you will move onto in person interviews. The entire process is very extensive before you even speak with someone with serious knowledge or insights into the role. If you are not selected, do not anticipate receiving significant feedback on why (not). Additional note: be prepared to push the recruiting process along through follow up notes/calls to recruiter.
