Carlson Wagonlit Travel Interview Questions

Application

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Carlson Wagonlit Travel.

Interview

Interview process was a fairly smooth. The whole process was done on the phone with a presentation on Skype. A total of 2 calls with 2 interviewers. The communication with recruiter was a little longer.

Interview

Very disappointed in the recruiting process at this company. I was contacted by a recruiter who requested some time slot availability for an initial screening. I sent a few options and then never heard back, even after several follow-ups. I’ve heard stories of being ghosted by recruiters but have never experienced it until now.

Interview

So far, I have made it to step 2 out of 5 steps. The application process followed by an email about two weeks after inquiring about interest based on pay. As, well desire to perform the job.

Interview

3rd party recruiter reached out via LinkedIn and the first thing he wanted was a copy of my resume. I pushed back and asked for a phone call so I can better understand the job and responsibilities. Within 2 days we connected on the phone and he took 2-3 minutes explaining the role. But the first question he asked me was "how much money do you want to make?" When I refused to answer the question and asked for a range, he started negotiating what the base pay + bonus will be even before finding out about my skills and my experience and what I did. Needlessly to say, the call ended.

Who starts the first conversation with negotiating pay over the phone even before asking basic questions about experience/skills? And the kicker is that he did not even know what the benefits package was...

Thank manager was very nice. She asked why I had been a contractor so long, and I replied very frankly "racism". Companies would not hire me. She offered me the opportunity to work as a salaried employee remotely and i accepted. The day I started, she was gone.

Interview

I have applied to posted positions at Carlson Wagonlit Travel several times, and have had the same experience each time. The recruiters who process the applications do not respond and eventually I hear that the positions have been filled either internally, or without going through the applicant pool. I assume this means they are hiring only people known to them or the hiring manager.
