After I received an internal reference, a University recruiter got in contact with me and requested additional information (transcripts, etc.) Soon after, maybe a couple of days, I was told that I had a phone interview with someone from the larger People Ops team. They say it's a "phone screen" but that's not true at all - it's a full blow interviews with "tell me a time when..." and "what would you do if..." type questions. Two weeks after that I still haven't heard anything back from them. I had to reach out to my recruiter several times before I finally got her to call me. She told me that they would like to fly me out to interview on site in California. I originally applied for one job, but by the time they started planning my trip, that position got filled. I still flew out and interviewed for a different position though, which was nice. They are not very good with planning things as they kept changing the interview dates and times on me, but were finally able to agree on one. The traveling was fine, and hotel was nice, the car rental was convenient. I had 3 30 minute interviews with different people of the hiring group. The questions weren't that difficult - tell me about a time when, or what would do if. These questions pertained to the responsibilities that a recruiting coordinator might encounter. They were really looking for creative answers. After the interviews I had a debrief with the recruiter. She said she would get in contact with us in 2 days and tell us if they wanted to present my candidacy to the hiring committee. 2 days later and I still haven't heard anything. I had to reach out to her and then she called me. It was nice that she called to tell me that they weren't going to move forward with my application and that in maybe 1-2 years I should reach back out to her again. Overall thoughts: the recruiting coordinator that I met with at the beginning of my interviews already had 6 years of prior experience before interviewing for the same job I am interviewed for, and I haven't even graduated college yet. I don't quite understanding their thought process when you have people competing for the same position yet one has years upon years of experience. They are also not really good at meeting deadlines or stated goals. I had to reach out to my recruiter several times throughout the entire process to request a status update on my application. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience, just way too long.
