Vangent Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – It depends. The VP of HR has no idea what type of consistency there is across the organization. Hiring criteria, questions asked and level of background check is dependent on which site and which program.

Negotiation Details – They asked what my last salary was and I told them. Then they offered the same exact amount even though this was an expanded role with more responsibility. They eventually added additional to the offer. Suggestion ~ bump your previous salary to what you want to make.

Interview Details – You will fill out the regular online application and submit your resume. Once selected for an interview you will go in an meet with a interviewer for about 10 minutes. They ask about your customer service experience and why they should hire you. You will go through a high security information questionair once hired that will require information from past employers, residence and even school history of 10 years. It will include questions about who knows you well. That was probably the hardest of getting hired. The interview is easy as it is the same questions every other company asks. You can walk in there wearing short shorts and a tank top and still get hired there as I saw someone get hired wearing those items.

Negotiation Details – there is no negotiation phase. You get hired, they tell you the hours, and the pay. Nothing ever changes, ever.

Interview Details – The hiring and interview process is strange. You must first post a resume in a strict format. When applying, the resumes are screened for keywords by computer. If you pass this initial review, you are then granted an interview. During the interview you are required to have a 15 minute presentation on any topic for aproximately 10 people.

Negotiation Details – There was no negotiation, just an offer with a take it or leave it attitude.

Negotiation Details – none

Interview Details – I received a call from the company to come in and take a skills test and then do a 1:1 interview. After completing the 1:1 interview I was offered a position at the company. Everyone there was very nice, down to earth and welcoming.

Negotiation Details – The position is non negotiable. However, the pay is fair considering the going wage for a similar job in the city.

Interview Details – When you first go in you take a typing test. You must be able to type 20wpm. Then you watch a video on the company. They will have you wait until the interviewer is ready. You will go in and do a basic interview process. You also will have to read a script and then answer questions on the script. Then you will be asked to wait again for the 2nd interviewer. They will run through a little bit more on the company. This is where you would ask any questions. I was given the job the day I did the interview. They give you all the paperwork to fill out and set up another date you would like to come in to turn in the paperwork and have your picture taken for your id badge.

Negotiation Details – There was no negotiation on salary.

Interview Details – I learned of the opportunity through a local networking group where I also obtained interview coaching. The interview was straight-forward (no small talk) -- just to my liking, and the delay due to background check combined w/ projected start date made me think they'd passed over me. However, thanks to other contact(s) in the same networking group, I was able to contact someone at the company (which was rather hard to reach concerning this job given the security aspect) who told me of the backlog in background checks. I started work less than a month after the originally projected date & was promoted w/in 3 months of hire -- just 2 months before layoff due to the temporary nature of the work.
