Application

I applied online. I interviewed at J.S. Held (Hoboken, NJ) in Nov 2022

Interview

Three overall interviews, two that are remote and one in-person interview with potential team members. The first interview was simple with someone in HR asking questions to make sure you are qualified. The second interview was with other environmental project managers and in the office located in Hoboken, NJ. I did not make it past the second interview, but it took nearly a month for them to tell me this. Overall, the process was fine and straightforward; my only issue was that I waited weeks only to be told they weren't moving forward with me as a candidate.

Interview Questions
  • What previous environmental work relevant to this job have you done in the past?

I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at J.S. Held (Cincinnati, OH) in Jul 2022

Interview

Very poorly put together by the junior talent acquisition. Didn't understand the role and so couldn't answer questions I asked about the duties. They kept referring to having to ask their boss who would then ask the director of the project management team. So the interview was a waste of time.

Interview Questions
  • Would I be open to travel regularly

Application

I applied online. I interviewed at J.S. Held

Interview

If you would kindly provide status to your candidates - those who take the time to prepare, are fully engaged in the interviews, send thank you notes, and then follow up for status - you wouldn't have to worry about a "thumb's down" review. Just a one line email would be appreciated. Unprofessional and impersonal approach to recruiting, and doesn't inspire me to recommend your company to others.

Interview Questions
  • "Tell us about yourself." "Are you still employed with xxxx?" "Why do you want to leave xxxx?"
