Tactile Medical Interview Questions
& Process

Had a first round interview with the recruiter for this sales position. It was unclear if I would be working under a more senior sales representative or on my own in the territory, which felt like withholding information. Haven't heard back about progress or next steps from this interview yet.

The interview process for the APS role at Riverside was really smooth. It started with a casual chat to see how my experience matched up with what they do. Then, I did a ride-a-long with the lead Product Specialist, which was a great way to stay sharp and ask some good questions. The last step was a one-on-one Zoom call with the hiring manager to wrap things up and answer any remaining questions they had about me. Overall, it was a really positive and less stressful interview experience compared to other places I've interviewed.

So the interview process moved super fast. It started with a phone screening, then a zoom interview, followed by an in-person field interview. There was supposed to be another zoom interview after that. The field interview was meant to give me a firsthand look at the job and a chance to meet the manager. It was scheduled an hour away from the job location. While I was on my way, they called and changed the location and the person I was meeting. I was sent to a different place with a different person who showed up 45 minutes late. We were supposed to be meeting a patient, but there was no appointment, and the patient wasn't even scheduled to be there. We then had to rush to another patient's house, an hour in a different direction. When we got there, the patient wasn't home. We waited outside for about 15 minutes for them to come back. The staff person with me barely spoke, just complained about the patient and the company. When I tried to make small talk, she said she couldn't because she was busy with paperwork on her iPad. The patient meeting finally happened, and it seemed okay, but then she just left with no follow-up. I didn't hear from the recruiter again until almost two weeks later when they sent a rejection. I asked the recruiter for feedback about the field interview, which was more like chaos than an interview, but I never got a response.

After I applied, the recruiter called me about a week later to screen me. The hiring manager was super busy so we couldn't talk for another two weeks. On the day, she was really late, I almost hung up. She seemed kinda clueless about elearning tools and stuff I mentioned, but by the end she seemed excited for me to meet someone else on her team, but couldn't remember their name. She also wasn't sure about how many interviews or the timeline, which was weird. A few days later I asked the recruiter about the timeline since I'm talking to other places too. He had no info, which showed the hiring manager and him weren't talking and they had no plan. I asked again the next week, still no updates. I told him to ask her for info. He said he would that day and that I was still in the running. I asked again the next day, no response. After a bunch of my follow-ups, the recruiter finally said they were moving on with other people. I think the recruiter decided this because he was probably annoyed by her lack of communication and my constant asking for updates. The whole thing took almost a month. They would have needed another 2-3 weeks for more interviews, which is too long for this kind of job. Luckily, I got another offer. Their process is disorganized and chaotic, based on my experience and what others say. I'd look somewhere else unless you're desperate.
