A recruiter reached out on LinkedIn for a confidential Recruiter position. We set up a video interview. The interview with the recruiter felt like an interrogation. They promised to follow up within 2 days, and they did call to discuss my candidacy. I like structure, but this felt rushed and unwelcoming. It was a bit too dry for me. I'd suggest adding more personality to the process.

Behavioral Presentation
The interview process was really simple. First, there was a 30-minute Teams call with the recruiter. After that, I had a 1-hour in-person interview with both the Customer Service Manager and the Director. They kept me informed about what was happening next, and I felt like they really wanted me on the team even before I started.

Behavioral Presentation
The process was pretty straightforward, with three stages in total. It kicked off with a chat with the recruiter, followed by a meeting with the hiring manager, and then I met with several department heads. The initial two discussions were done virtually, and the final stage involved an in-person meeting.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
I sent my CV through LinkedIn for the open position. 3 days later, a recruiter contacted me and we had two separate phone calls. In the meantime, I directly contacted the European manager on LinkedIn and let him know I was available. After a week, the recruiter informed me that my profile wasn't a perfect fit. I contacted the European manager again, and he restarted the selection process. 10 days later, I had an in-person meeting in Paris for the first interview, which went well. Over the next month, I had 4 video calls with US executives. The process was completed successfully.
