Behavioral Presentation

The interview process at PerfectServe started off strong with engaging conversations and a well-run panel interview. The team was prepared and professional. However, communication dropped off after the panel stage, with no follow-up provided. Overall, the experience was okay, positive interactions early on, but the lack of closure later in the process was disappointing.

It was 4 rounds of video interviews with different people. The questions were pretty repetitive and there were a few brain teasers in each interview. I had to solve the 3 people with red or blue hats problem, write out doctor scheduling in a mathematical formula, and figure out how to organize 50 green apples and 50 red apples into two buckets.

I got an email about a role I didn't apply for, and they wanted to interview me. I said I was interested but asked for a job description, which I never got. The recruiter said we'd discuss that role too. She was supposed to call at a certain time but emailed 15 minutes later saying she was in a meeting. We rescheduled, and she gave me a time outside my availability, but I made it work. Then, she called two hours early, having sent the wrong time. During the call, I could hear background noise from people talking and laughing. She mentioned a manager would follow up in the next two days, but that didn't happen. I was really unimpressed with the recruiter's professionalism and hope it's not reflective of the company culture.

Behavioral Case

The interview process was fast but complete. Following initial phone screenings with main executives, I went to Knoxville for in-person interviews with the heads of HR, operations, sales and marketing, and the CEO, Terry. I actually had over a 2-hour meeting with Terry! I thought the meetings were thorough and appropriately challenging (using situational questions) to make sure it was a good match culturally and skill-wise. Communication and feedback during the process were helpful, and I got a job offer fast.

Confirmed questions1 question
  • Can you share an instance where you had to challenge an executive, and explain how you managed that scenario?
