I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at CBRE (Century City, CA) in Mar 2016
Interview
I applied online and I was contacted about 2 weeks later for an in-person interview. I was scheduled the following week and interviewed at the century city location with the operations manager, the vice president, and the senior vice president (all of which I would be supporting). The interviews were conducted separately and I was asked a few duplicate questions, so I felt like I answered better for some than another. The interview took about an hour and a half.
I sent out separate 'thank you' emails a few days later and was told by the operations manager that they are still in the middle of the interview process and would get back to me shortly. I did not hear anything for another 2 weeks, so I emailed her again with no response. I emailed the receptionist who contacted me about the interview but she forwarded my email to the same manager, with no response and that was 3 weeks ago.
I wish there would be more of a sense of professionalism from people who work for such a large company. I wasn't even expecting to land the job but a simple "Thank you for coming in. We decided to proceed with another candidate" was all I was asking for.
Note to managers: if you reject a candidate, please at least have the decency to email them a rejection letter. I would appreciate that more than being left in limbo.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why CBRE? What experience do you have with marketing? How are your organizational skills? How familiar are you with social media platforms?
I applied online. I interviewed at CBRE in Apr 2026
Interview
Had a zoom call with the hiring manager about two weeks ago, had another call with a team of brokers a week and a half ago, and with another team last Wednesday. I’m going in this Wednesday to meet everyone and some additional people in person.
Internal recruiter gives you a call. If it’s not a good time to talk, then they will schedule a time to do a phone screening. After that, they pass the notes to the hiring manager to schedule an interview with them. Then after that, you are rewarded with another interview with team members (producers, etc). After that, you’re rewarded with another interview.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at CBRE
Interview
A recruiter reached out, then I met with the Operations manager, and then I went in person to meet the team. They really only pressed me about my Adobe experience.....and then the main broker said something about how his team is a "family," and that immediately did not feel genuine. The whole interview felt a little off, honestly.
