Management Recruiters Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – A rather long interviewing process requiring numerous trips to interview with managers and other recruiters.
The people I met with were are pleasant but did not seem very energetic. Interview questions were very basic and easy to answer. Quite a bit of work involved as I was asked after each interview to come back with my thoughts on a particular topic relative to their sales process.

Reason for Declining – Compensation plan was 100% commission - with a $300/week recoverable draw. During the interviewing process I learned that the average recruiter had to work about 8 months just to cover the draw. Only a handful of recruiters were making the advertised $100,000+.

Interview Details – Phone screening then phone interview with Paul. Was told during phone interview that 95% of applicants are rejected during the phone interview with him. Even though I am a guy and appreciate good looking women, I noticed that the women were not appropriately dressed for the workplace. Took IQ Test.

Reason for Declining – Spoke with Paul and something seemed off about his operation. He appreciated that I had previous phone / cold calling experience but then he stated he wanted an athlete, he was looking for a certain of person. I guess because I didn't wear a sundress and have blond hair, I couldn't fit it. I decided to not pursue it any further.

Interview Details – Easy, due to low base salary, high commission potnetial and limited training needed/sales position, they hire just about everybody. Very general interview questions asked which is surprising for those who do this for a living.

Reason for Declining – Had worked for another MRi office previously. Ofices are independetly owned, to be successful you need to work for an office who has a strong leader and invests in resources for recruiters to utilize.

Interview Details – requested Position in Asia, Referred to MRI offices in Asia.

Interview Details – Very well organized process . Fully described in advance. Allowed to bow out at any stage.

Negotiation Details – No negotiations.

Interview Details – very straightforward phone interview, screening purposes. followed by a face-to-face, during which a personality-type test was given, and a "peer" interview. two days later, another face-to-face, followed by more peer discussion. about 3 days later, offer of work presented

Reason for Declining – initial draw amount too low to survive, plus uncertainty about this field
