Sodexo Hr Manager Interview Questions
& Process

I applied for an HR Manager II role and had a phone screening with a corporate recruiter. She mentioned that the role would be more like an HR Generalist position, which was different from the job posting. During the call, she asked about my salary expectations. I gave a figure that was $20,000 below the listed salary, but it seemed too high for her, and she ended the interview shortly after. When I asked about the HR structure at the location, she confirmed that the person in this role would be the only HR representative. It's a significant responsibility for them to then offer a low salary. I don't expect to hear back, and I've seen other reviews where people were also lowballed or offered a different role than what they applied for.

Sodexo gives tons of info online (linkedin, facebook, website), and it's easy to connect with recruiters. They really push their 'caring' culture, so keep that in mind. First, a recruiter emails you for an initial phone screen. They'll ask basic experience/background questions to see if you're a fit and are pretty open about salary. Next, a recruiting assistant does a phone interview that's behavioral. They ask straightforward questions and want you to use a past experience as an example, like 'tell me about a time you had multiple goals and a deadline, how did you meet them?'. After that, the hiring manager calls you for a 1:1. She mentioned a skills assessment, but it turned out to be another behavioral interview. She'd ask a question and then explain how it related to the job. Not sure if that's her thing or standard practice. Again, simple, direct questions asking for personal examples. Finally, I had phone screens with two other managers I'd be working with. The whole thing took a few weeks.

Me contactaron 3 semanas después de enviar mi CV. Me llamaron de repente, sin previo aviso, para una entrevista telefónica corta. Me preguntaron cosas que ya están en mi CV, como mi formación, trayectoria, por qué quiero cambiar, mi empresa actual y mi salario actual. Me citaron para otra entrevista, pero como mi aspiración salarial es alta, pedí que me confirmaran si estaba dentro de sus posibilidades para no perder el tiempo. Me dijeron que lo preguntarían y si era lo que esperaba, me citarían. Decidí no seguir adelante con la empresa porque no me gustó la forma en que empezaron, sin presentarse, con poca empatía, preguntando cosas que ya están en el CV, dando poca información sobre el puesto y con una actitud de "o lo tomas o lo dejas".
