The Connor Group Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process had quite a few steps, and they were very thorough in screening candidates. I've been here about a month now and it's clear why they were so meticulous. This company is an incredible fit for some people and not so much for others. It makes sense why there were so many interviews because they really wanted to make sure this would be a good fit for me personally.

The entire interview process was conducted virtually. It started with an HR interview, followed by an interview with the hiring manager, and then an interview with Larry Connor, who is the owner. Unfortunately, I didn't hear back after my meeting with Larry. Interestingly, many of the questions asked across all three interviews were quite similar and repeated. The interviews felt very superficial and not particularly welcoming.

I went through 3 rounds of interviews for the Sales Associate position. The initial interviews felt more like conversations where I could ask my own questions. Later, there was a 30-minute call where I had to answer all their questions. After completing the 3 rounds, I never heard back from them. Curiously, a recruiter reached out to me twice on LinkedIn for the same role I had already interviewed for. I politely informed her about my experience of being ghosted during the interview process. She saw my message but didn't respond. While I enjoyed the people I interviewed with and found the process friendly and not stressful, I received no communication from the company for weeks after finishing the interviews.

I was contacted by a recruiter from The Connor Group and quickly agreed to an interview. There was a bit of a delay in their response, which was understandable. When they got back to me to set up the first interview, we scheduled it for the very next day. This first chat with the recruiter was basically a screening call where they laid out the job details. They made it clear that the work schedule involves 6 days a week with only 1 day off, and just one guaranteed weekend off each month. What really caught me off guard was the salary information. Initially, the recruiter mentioned a range of $100,000-$160,000. But during the screening call, this changed multiple times. It went from $100,000 base salary plus bonus, to a potential of $100,000 salary with a bonus opportunity to reach $125,000 after a year. Then, it was revealed that the starting pay is actually $75,000 with a $25,000 bonus potential at the end of the first year. The $160,000 figure is only achievable after the second year. I felt this was misleading, like a bait-and-switch tactic, and it didn't sit right with me. If they're not upfront about the starting salary, it makes you wonder about other aspects of the company. However, I was willing to move forward considering the growth potential. The recruiter said everything looked good on my end and someone would reach out to schedule the next step, which would be a series of video interviews. I sent a thank you note after the screening, but didn't get a reply. Two days later, I received a generic rejection email. It felt like this company screens candidates to find those who won't question the role and will just agree to everything, potentially making them easier to exploit. The reviews I read beforehand about their interview process now seem to align with my experience. Not a single question was asked about my actual work experience or accomplishments.
