The process started with a telephone interview led by the founder of the company. I was asked a few open-ended questions to determine how much HR knowledge I had, why I was looking outside of my current company, and what attracted me to E|H.
I was invited to an in-person interview which took about 2.5 hours; I interviewed separately with 2 HR consultants, a director, and the founder of the company. Each person I talked to made the atmosphere extremely comfortable. Interviews can be very intimidating but Empowered Hospitality’s approach allowed the questions to flow like a conversation and everyone was very personable.
I also interviewed with 2 more people after the in-person interviews. It may sound like a long process but the recruiting process went rather quickly; about 1 week.
E|H was very transparent with the pros and cons of their startup company, and I appreciate them for their honesty and treating me (a candidate) as if I was already a part of the team.
P.S. Empowered’s office is pretty nice! Their corner is kind of like an open office space; nice view and cozy. There’s also complimentary yoga classes and a cafe!
