1st round was with a recruiter who was very pleasant. However, the interview scheduled time was sent without any consideration of my time. The same happened for the 2nd round interview. This was the only company I ever saw that schedules interviews without giving the candidate the option to schedule according to their availability (through some scheduling tool) or at least sends them few time options to choose from. This is real thumbs down from my side.
Except for that, the interaction with the recruiter was really nice, she shared the areas that will be covered during the next stage interview and was very responsive.
The 2nd round with the main stakeholders was one of the worst interviews I ever saw. They do behavioral based interview questions, which I am a big fan of. During my career I trained many hiring managers and HR professionals on leading such interviews, but this was one big disaster. It was like a good theoretical idea that went very wrong in the performance.
I've received the topics up front so I knew the discussion will be around Process improvement and optimization, Data-driven decision making and working in matrix, so when the interview started with "tell us about yourself", I made sure I cover these topics. This wasn't difficult as my position was all about process optimizations so I shared a lot about that and also how I used data to make decisions. Any professional or well trained interviewer would build on the discussion and implement the BBI questions smoothly in the discussion, but in this case it was like talking to someone who got a list of 6 questions and had to ask them no matter what, so after I've shared all that, they each started to ask one BBI question after another for each area, 6 BBIs - both of them having questions for each area.
They lacked the ability to build on what was being said, which was very disappointing especially as these were Talent Acquisition people.
So great idea to implement BBI questions to your selection process, but please reconsider the way this is being currently used and consider training, preferably by external trainer.
