O processo levou 2 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela CDW (Chicago, IL) em jun. de 2009
Entrevista
When I submitted my resume to the position which was posted on my university's career website, I received a phone call about 10 minutes later from a recruiter and began my phone interview. My recruiter was very energetic and she told me about the great company culture, with unlimited earning potential, and it made me very interested. After the phone interview, I conducted a personality test. After passing the personality test, I received a phone call from my initial recruiter who flew me into Chicago, and picked me up in a stretch limo. I was interviewed by the recruiter again before doing a mock phone call with one of the sales managers, where I was required to sell him party balloons. I passed, and was pressured to sign the offer right away if I wanted to be located in the Chicago office. I signed, foolishly.
Simple and relaxed. Show dedication, persistence and willing to do what it takes to learn and grow your book. Willing to come into office. No prior IT experience needed. Three separate interviews completed.
The interview process was a 3 stage process. 1st - Phone screening with the recruitment agency, 2nd - Phone interview with CDW’s HR, 3rd - Zoom/office interview in person with CDW HR + Director.
Overall 1st screening interview was pretty straight forward and was informed that I would be processed to the next stage and a member of CDW would be in contact next week to arrange a interview. Guess what? A week has passed and no update from recruitment agency or CDW. I’ve sent a email for a update and if the position is still vacant or not? Which is currently pending.
The delayed response with lack of communication and update is a red flag for me as CDW is meant to be a IT Solution company that’s able to quickly problem solve, you would assume organisations skills would be prioritised accordingly. Especially when hiring a positional new candidate.
Hiring process was meant to be a 3 stage interview, 1st interview - outsource hiring firm, quick 30 mins call, 2nd interview - Hiring Manager + Member of Team, 3rd Hiring Manager plus Director.
Passed the 1st interview with ease, was informed immediately that I have passed the 1st screening and a member of CDW will call the next following week. Guess what? The week has passed and I resent a email for a update in regards to the position and if still vacant, currently waiting for a reply from the outsourced hiring company but the entire process seems to be delayed with lack of communication with candidate. Which is a major red flag as you would assume a IT Solution company would be more prompt in both communication and process.
