He started by stating the conditions of the job offer (Remote, Contract, paid in USD) and asked if I agreed to that. The second question was about my salary expectation, which I shared. The third question was about my availability to start and why I had left my last job.
What college did you go to
General interview questions, nothing sticks out in my mind.
What has been your experience in putting together onboarding programs?
Describe what you have done to improve the interviewer and candidate experience. How would you report on diversity? Have you ever created a playbook?
How do you manage your team
Give me an example of a huge cross team success you implemented in the past Give me an example of something you launched that failed How did you navigate tense interactions or misunderstandings with another department or team. How did you work through it What data would you use for TA for a department that is new to TA data or not very data Savvy?
I was asked about my background and experience and how I would tackle various challenges / problems that I'd face in the role.
The initial phone conversation with the internal off site recruiter was very positive. She clearly enjoys her role and the organization and that added to the excitement of speaking to the team for the in person interview. We talked for over an hour and I was left with a positive impression about the opportunity going forward to the next step. Unfortunately, the on site experience was not as positive. Lots of questions about working on Excel and (presumably) outdated or not properly configured systems that don't necessarily talk to each other. How involved were you in any kind of ATS or HRIS implementation/requirement gathering for a new system? They have decided on a new system but have not implemented yet. Could you handle this with minimal support. A lot of questions and discussion about working on manual systems and providing fast accurate results despite not having the tools. What is your approach given that situation etc. Questions about gaining consensus with groups or individuals that don't necessarily want to partner and working in a matrix reporting structure. Questions about relationship development (again with those that might not be especially keen on partnering) and working with individuals from other/varied cultures. Very small office with 6 or so people. My impression was the team was very intimidated by the local leadership with whom I met. The impression I had was the small team was walking on eggshells abd there was a nervous energy when discussing working with local leadership. What exactly they wanted done was very vague. I did not get straightforward answers to my questions about performance measurement, specific expectations, what success looks like at 30, 60, 90 days. I would also note that one interviewer in particular was a bit rude. I said I was looking forward to hearing more about the role and he answered "That's obvious." Interviewer also consistently checked his watch especially when I asked questions about specifics regarding the role.
