TravelClick Interview Questions
& Process

A recruiter reached out about this role, and I was excited to apply. First, I had a recruiter phone call where I answered some general questions. Then, I had another phone interview with the Manager. They asked me to discuss my background, experience, and familiarity with specific tools. Following that, the recruiter contacted me, stating the manager was impressed and wanted to schedule an in-person interview. This onsite interview involved meeting with three people who asked a mix of questions about teamwork and web design. The recruiter later confirmed my success and mentioned the team was wrapping up other interviews before making a decision. They requested 3-5 professional references, including a supervisor. A week later, I received both an email and a call with an offer. The recruiter noted that the team really liked my personality and that my portfolio stood out the most, so I'd say making your portfolio shine is key to getting hired!

A recruiter reached out to me, and then I went through a few interviews with the exec team. TravelClick could use a new recruiting agency. Honestly, the recruiters were the most cold and robotic I've ever dealt with in my 15+ years of working. They just read from a script in broken English, even when the answers to their questions were clearly on my resume. The company felt a bit shady. I saw the job listing in a few places with slightly different titles and ranks. My research showed the previous person in this role was several levels above what they offered me. The pay was way below market for what they wanted (like strategy consulting). After my interview, they changed the title and description again to something else completely. It didn't seem like a great place for a long-term career, partly because they have to meet the demands of a tough private equity owner. They also didn't try to sell me on the job; weirdly, they just talked about the negative parts of their culture and asked if I was 'okay' with it. I'd really think hard about any offer you get. The job market in NYC is tough, and there are other places with much better experiences and pay.

It was a three-stage interview process. First, I had a phone chat with an HR person where we talked about my past work, the job details, and salary. It was a chill conversation. Then, I had two more phone interviews with the hiring manager. These were laid-back chats where he wanted to see if I was a good fit personality-wise, as he'd already seen my resume and work samples. We discussed my background and the role, and I explained some things from my past work. Lastly, I had an in-person interview where I met the hiring manager and another team member. I also briefly met the rest of the team during this stage. I was asked to go deep on one of my previous projects.

The interview process started with a quick phone call which also set up a formal interview. The first formal interview involved three people and lasted about 15-20 minutes. After that, I was asked to write a pretend apology letter and a response to a scenario about dealing with a difficult coworker. Then, I had another interview where they asked the same questions but in Spanish, I guess to check if I'm truly bilingual. The next day, I received a call asking if I could come in for an interview with the company's President. During that interview, he asked the exact same questions as the previous interviews. A week later, I got a call from a different HR person who asked the same questions again. I was getting pretty frustrated by then. Two weeks after I emailed and called to follow up, they finally emailed me a job offer. The whole process from the first call to the offer took a little over a month.
