      Executive Assistant Interview

      Oct 29, 2019
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Greenhouse Software (New York, NY) in Aug 2019

      Interview

      I'm surprised by how negative of a candidate experience I had at Greenhouse. I applied through a staffing agency. I had an initial phone screen with a manager that was very thorough outlining the needs of the role and team and asking about my experience and background being an executive assistant. The conversation went well and I was told as a next step I was selected for an in-person the same week. The in-person with the first interviewer I had the phone screen with also went well and was thorough, yet engaging and conversational. I was then interviewed by another team member whom the person in the role would work closely with. This interviewer was clearly not experienced in interviewing candidates and not only was I asked very off-topic personal questions unrelated to the role, but the interview also went 30 minutes over the initially scheduled time. I remained polite but I thought the whole second half of the interview process was really unprofessional. The second interviewer made it a point to mention to me that it was her final decision on selecting the candidate (which I found an inappropriate/immature way in exerting her power). Interviews are a two-way street, not an opportunity to exert power in front of a candidate excited about a job with your company. I received a follow-up note that I was not selected for the role. I was, however, also given feedback as to why and was told I asked too many questions during the interview process??? Of all the feedback I would expect to receive asking too many in-depth questions was the last thing I would expect to hear... Very bizarre...

      Question 1

      Tell me about a time you were asked by a team member to disclose confidential/sensitive information and how you handled the situation?

      Thank you for sharing your experience. I’ve forwarded your feedback to the interviewing team for the Executive Assistant position, and we’ve taken it to heart. I’m bummed to hear that you had a negative experience with one of our interviewers, which surprised us to hear, and we’ve discussed in depth how to ensure a better process moving forward. We’re also working more closely with the staffing agency you applied through to make sure that they provide feedback to future candidates in a way that is helpful, actionable, and meets our standards at Greenhouse, since it seems that we missed the mark for you there. If you have any additional thoughts you’d like to share, you can reach out to me at amoon@greenhouse.io --Ariana, Recruiting Manager
