I applied for the Business Development Manager position via one of the job boards. Within a day or two, a phone interview was scheduled with the Operations Manager. The initial call was a typical phone screen to review work experience and determine if there might be a good fit for both of us. The call went well and a second phone interview was set up with the CEO. This call also went very well and resulted in an interview being scheduled in their Oak Brook Terrace office.
When I arrived on-site for the interview, I immediately noticed the atmosphere being warm, friendly, and professional. After quick introductions I was asked to complete an assessment. This was more of an IQ/logic type of assessment. Then I met with a series of individuals in one of the conference rooms. I met with two BDM's, the Operations Manager, the Director of Application Development, and the CEO. In my opinion, this was the ideal way to do face-to-face interviews, as I left with a really good sense of the company and its culture. If my memory serves me, the entire process was completed in just over three hours.
