Intelliswift just helped to arrange the interview. It was F2F panel interview with the Client . The interview was based on the resume, technical and situational questions as per the experience. Interview went from the complete development cycle.

Interview

Received call from "recruiter" (actually call center in India) and he lied to me right in the beginning of the conversation when I asked him where he was calling me from. Told me Freemont California when in fact he was calling me from India. So, Intelliswift hires overseas outbound call centers to call workers up and to lie to them.

The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Intelliswift in February 2018.

Interview

I didn't apply. They reached out to me in a very unprofessional way.

I was trying to figure out, from a generic poorly worded JD for a 3 month contract, what the job actually was. They called me, I don't know where they got my resume from, nor which version. A person name <XYZ> emailed me and I got a call from a very poorly connected phone line and couldn't hear a thing. I asked them some questions in an email and then suggested they call back.

Received a call back from a person who was NOT the first person who called me and, in the midst of me just trying to figure out who she was and what the job was about, she abruptly asked me "Do you want me to submit your profile or not?" Since I had no idea what the job was, what "profile" they had for me (or had scraped off a a "partner" job site), I said no. And hung up before she could.

This was worse than a resume mill.

The first round with Intelliswift, they gave me 2 interviews included the background check and the technical interviews.
After I passed all, they applied me to 2 big clients.
The second round, each client, followed by 2 technical interviews, which all are based on testing my algorithm skills, Java core, Spring and Javascript full stack skills. People were very responsive all the process is completed in just a week.

Interview

I got a mail with a description and a mail with request please call me back. I made a call and it was apparently a phone of the colleague. The guy never responded on mails or phone calls. Seems like scammers. I wonder if they all sit in India.

Application

I applied in-person. I interviewed at Intelliswift (Fremont, CA).

Interview

Very nice, well organized process. The questions were directed to my background. Everyone was very pleasant and made me feel most comfortable. They know what they are looking for and have a good, solid screening process in place. They also focus on a strong culture fit.

Interview Questions

Interview

I was contacted one day about an "URGENT" HR Coordinator position in my local market. I kindly responded to the Recruiter and let them know that I had already found a job and was no longer looking for employment. The SAME DAY I was called 3 times, left a voicemail, sent another email, and a LinkedIn message (all within a 10 minute time frame) about THE SAME JOB that I had already responded to less than 12 hours earlier.. Staffing companies need to do a better job at tracking the status of their applicants and people they want to place. This shows poorly on their communication tactics and how they partner with people to help them find jobs. No one wants to have their phone/email/LinkedIn blown up that excessively about a job.

Interview

Got an email from the recruiter asking for my social security number and my date of birth. Never a good company if they need social security numbers as part of their prescreening process

Application

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Intelliswift.

Interview

They require a 1 year non-compete just to submit you to their "client". They don't specify which position it applies to, nor do they tell you who the client is. So, in theory, it could be a very large company, say Microsoft for instance, and if you don't get accepted for that job and want to apply to a different job later, you must go through Intelliswift. This can be a big issue if Microsoft later chooses not to use Intelliswift and you want a job there.

From their agreement:
"This agreement of Non-Compete is valid for a binding period of twelve (12) Months from the date of submission of the CANDIDATEs resume to the CLIENT. Should CANDIDATE breach this agreement, CANDIDATE will pay Company a penalty of 40% of the gross annual salary or billing the CANDIDATE receives on any services provided to the CLIENT. The penalty will be applicable for the entire duration of the contract revenues generated by Contractor from the CLIENT or for the first year of service if it is a permanent placement."
