The Children's Place Interview Questions & Reviews

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Secaucus, NJ (took a day)

I was contacted by the Recruitment Manager and had a brief phone interview with her. The call last about 15 minutes and we covered some general questions - why was I looking and what was I looking for, etc. I was then emailed by the Recruitment Specialist to set-up an interview. On the day of the interview I first met with the Recruitment Manager that I had spoken with on the phone. It lasted a couple of minutes, and then she left to get the HR Manager which took about 15 minutes. I then met with the HR Manager and the conversation lasted about 30 minutes. The Manager was very pleasant and easy to speak to. Her questions were not too difficult and not too easy. The last person I met with was the HR Director, who seemed like she was in a very big rush. The conversation lasted about 10-15 minutes, and I answered all of her questions, which again were not too difficult and not too easy. The entire interview last about 1.5 hours. I followed-up with thank you emails and then handwritten notes to all people I had met with. I waited about two weeks to follow-up with the Recruitment Specialist and received no email response back. I then emailed the Recruitment Manager to find out what the status was, and she informed me that they decided to go with a more qualified candidate. About two weeks after I received that email from the Recruitment Manager, I received an email (not a response to my email) from the Specialist telling me that the position had been filled. Overall I thought that the actual interview was fine, it was the after part that has left me with a less than stellar impression of their HR Department.
