I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Insight Global (Minneapolis, MN) in Nov 2009
Interview
I applied to this position on my university career site. I received a call the next day from someone who explained what the position involved and what the company was like. I had my one-on-one interview on my campus a few weeks later.
The first thing the interviewer told me was that this interview wasn't going to be a typical interview where they ask about your strengths and weaknesses. The interviewer said it was going to be more of an informational thing and consisted of the her explaining the position and company and then asked me if I had any questions. I had lots of questions, so the majority of the interview was me asking questions and her answering them. The interview lasted about 20 minutes.
I received an email 5 days later saying that after their many interviews at three different universities, they found other students that had more previous professional experience and would not be offering me the position.
They are basically using the 1st interview to get a feel for your personality and motivation. The 2nd interview is the professional one.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Insight Global (Denver, CO) in Mar 2026
Interview
Started with an initial meeting over Microsoft Teams; Recruiter interviewed me twice before offering an in person interview. The in person interview was much more interpersonal, they had me meet the team and introduced me to everyone on the floor. When the actual interview started it seemed they were scanning my personal communication skills without be prudent to my abilities to complete the job. I was invited back for a shadow/lunch session, this was another test environment of my personal communication skills. I felt this environment was supportive but felt off, I appreciated the time to interview but was told multiple times; "We believe you have the technical ability to complete the job." I was told the day after that they were moving forward with other candidates. I completed a total of six interviews for this position with arguably more effort and time spent than I would like to interview. The shadow session and lunch interview took nearly 4 hours of my time (travel, parking, interview, lunch, shadowing time). I wouldn't spend this much time in pursuit of a position I was not going to be offered. Indirectly I never was able to speak with anyone in the office I was interviewing at previous to the interviews themselves. My recruiter operated as a liaison to me and the office without direct connection with the office.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What kind of questions would you ask a client to get to know them better?
I had my first interview, and we ended it with her saying that she would send me dates to visit the office. I never heard from her again. She also asked me if I was in Greek life, but I don't feel like that was a normal interview question.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Insight Global
Interview
The interview process includes three rounds (mix between virtual and in-person) with manageable and straightforward questions, that seem to be designed to get to know you as both a person and a candidate.
