I applied online on a Friday and was contacted by a recruiter the following Monday or Tuesday. During our scheduled phone screen, the recruiter joined the call late and seemed rushed throughout the conversation. It felt like the questions were being asked quickly without much interest in the responses.
After I spent several minutes explaining my background and experience, she asked whether I had 150 credits. A bachelor's degree typically consists of 120 credits, and in Colorado you do not need 150 credits to sit for the CPA exam. I found it surprising that this was not clearly understood during the conversation.
At the end of the call, she said she would pass my resume along to the hiring manager and that I would hear back either way. After a week without an update, I followed up by email but never received a response.
Overall, the experience felt disorganized and unprofessional, especially given the expectations associated with a large company.
Fiz uma entrevista na empresa Topel Forman (Chicago, IL).
Entrevista
it was a screening interview, and it was 30 minutes long. it was super chill and she had a lot of room to ask questions, phone interview, recruiter was late but very friendly
I normally do not give reviews but after my negative experience I decided to give one. Recently I applied for a role that strongly believe I qualified for. Within a couple of days of me applying, a recruiter sent me an invite to provide interview availability for a phone screening. Based on my availability, the phone screen was set for a particular day and time which I confirmed immediately via email. The day before the phone screening the recruiter sent me an email reminder for the day and time. My phone interview was set up at 4pm the next day. However, at 4pm, I did not receive a phone call or an email letting me know that the interview had to be reschedule or cancelled. I did reach out immediately via email but still no response. Basically, the recruiter was a no-show which I felt was very unprofessional. While this was just a normal phone screening it could be viewed for someone unemployed or looking to change careers a sense of hope that this may be for employment opportunity the individual was looking for. Even though I never got a chance to discuss my experience or learn more about the role, I did finally receive an email thanking me for applying and letting me know that there were no opportunities at this time. If there were no plans to interview or hire for the role, why even send out an email for a phone interview invite. Doing this sends out a false narrative about the employer that has a 4 Star rating.
