Behavioral Technical Presentation

Really nice process, it had several stages, and a really cool psychology assessment. Everybody I met seemed to know their stuff, be enthusiastic about their jobs, and approachable. I think the way they hire says a lot about the company, the people they bring on, and how satisfied people are with their careers.

1st stage: pre-interview with sent questions and answers recorded. 2nd stage: a face-to-face interview with two managers: clear description of the role provided with slides, very respectful attitude, practical questions asked to check the hard skills and quite down-to-earth (in a good sense) questions for soft skills.

It was a great long process where I was asked about my skills in managing and processing data, and my communication skills with others. The job involves interacting with clients in person or over the phone, making inbound and outbound calls to schedule appointments, check clients in, and manage client flow in the tax office. You'll also take payments via cash, check, or credit card for tax services.
