Sekisui House U.S., Inc. Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process at Richmond American Homes was more conversational, with surprisingly few direct interview-style questions. I first met with the hiring manager, followed by the division director, and finally the regional director. Each person I spoke with was professional, respectful, and genuinely interested in learning about my background and goals. The process took about four weeks from initial outreach to final conversation.

HR was really responsive and there were several interviews. The screening process took a while, with three interviews spread over a month. The lengthy process made the waiting period tough and less engaging. The HR rep was really informative and kept me engaged throughout. It just ended up taking longer than I expected.

It was a pretty standard process: first, a screening with the recruiter. Then, an interview with the hiring manager. They usually don't do a third round, but they had me come back to interview with the VP. He seemed disengaged, using his phone for questions, offered a weak handshake, and admitted he hadn't reviewed my resume, asking me to present it.

The second interviewer was late, and both interviewers were on their phones for the first 5 minutes of the meeting. The questions were typical, but the delivery from one interviewer was not. When I mentioned I was interviewing with other builders and declined to name them, her demeanor became challenging and dismissive, which threw me off. I wouldn't want to work with her, so maybe bombing the interview was a good thing.
