Manager, Procurement Research at InterContinental Hotels
No Offer – Interviewed in North Atlanta, GA Apr 2013 – Reviewed Jun 18, 2013 New
Interview Details – The interview process was relatively short. The HR Recruiter emailed me to set up a time for me to come in and meet with the hiring manager and one of his partners. I then had a panel interview with the hiring manager, the colleague and the HR Recruiter. Questions were expected given the job description. After the initial round, the hiring manager asked to talk to me on the phone regarding two further questions. Upon going through that stage, the hiring manager decided to rescope the position

Human Resource Manager at InterContinental Hotels
No Offer – Interviewed in Fort Leonard Wood, MO Apr 2013 – Reviewed May 13, 2013
Interview Details – Panel interview with General Manager and two other Assistant Managers. The on-line application was easy. A phone call set up the interview. Prior to the interview the panel did not review the application well. When I explained my availability date, that was the deal breaker. The application had my availability date on it, so that should have eliminated me from consideration based on the timeline to start they wanted.
Interview Question – Is there a difference between being a leader and being a manager? Answer Question

Food and Beverage Management Trainee at InterContinental Hotels
No Offer – Interviewed in Columbus, OH Nov 2012 – Reviewed Jan 2, 2013
Interview Details – Great Experience...Met with 2 members of F/B team. Called back to meet with director. Very nice people, decent interview, but felt I was not the candidate they were looking for, gut feeling. No follow up from IHG, which was disappointing. Even though you feel like you did not get the job, the closure is always nice. Would have loved the offer, IHG seems like a great company to work for.
