Technical Recruiter at Monster Worldwide
Declined Offer – Interviewed in Maynard, MA Dec 2012 – Reviewed Apr 14, 2013
Interview Details – I was approached by the Director of Talent Acquisition at Monster about the urgent need for sourcing high level technical talent to the company. He asked me to come in to meet him ASAP.
Interview Question – Why should I hire you if Monster.com isn't your primary resource for technical sourcing? View Answer
Reason for Declining – I was concerned that the TA group did not think that recruiting beyond Monster resume surfing was a good thing. And they always have openings posted for recruiters at the company. That's a sign that something is "broken".

National Account Manager at Monster Worldwide
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Maynard, MA Aug 2010 – Reviewed Feb 28, 2013

Interview Question – None Answer Question
Negotiation Details – Not much negotiation. They came in at the top so there wasn't much room for discussion.
