NeuroLeadership Institute Recruiter Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process was a confusing experience. I applied for a recruiter role, but a recruiter reached out about a recruiting coordinator position instead. She scheduled a Skype phone screen which was an informative call about the role. After the call, she mentioned I'd need to do assessments: a personality test, another assessment, and a virtual inbox activity. She also scheduled a second interview call via Skype. The assessments and virtual inbox were difficult and time-consuming, and not really related to the recruiting coordinator role. The assessment and personality test were emailed, but the virtual inbox wasn't sent on the scheduled day/time. I had to contact the recruiter, and she sent it for the next day without checking my availability. I ended up doing it after a busy day, on a different day than planned. The day after completing the virtual inbox, I had the second interview call via Skype, which I wasn't told would be a video call. So when she called via video, I had to tell her she didn't mention it was video. We did a regular call instead. This call was more of an interview where I was asked questions about the position and my experience. The recruiter was rude during this call and said I'd know by the next day about further steps. I got an email the next day saying I wasn't selected.

The interview process was interesting, fun and personal. It included video interviews, face-to-face meetings, phone calls, and some really interesting assessments. These assessments tested a variety of skills through project-based tasks, personal evaluations, and cognitive ability tests.

I had a short but useful phone chat with a Recruiter, who was nice, professional, and polite. Then, I got an email with about 5 or 6 assignments to do. It took me at least 4 hours in total to finish them all, some with time limits, some without. Most were okay and not hard, but two took more than an hour each and were tough mentally (doing analysis, writing reports, etc.). I get the idea and that they're meant to be hard, so I didn't mind. My issue is that after spending hours of my own time, I got zero feedback – not even an email saying thanks or what my results were. I work in HR, so I know Recruiters are busy, but when a company requires hours of assessments, the least they can do is respond.
