Anonymous Interview Candidate in Hoboken, NJ
I applied online. I interviewed at J.S. Held (Hoboken, NJ) in Nov 2022
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.
- What previous environmental work relevant to this job have you done in the past?

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Cincinnati, OH
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at J.S. Held (Cincinnati, OH) in Jul 2022
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.
- Would I be open to travel regularly

Anonymous Employee
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at J.S. Held
There were a few levels of interview process, first from the HR with generic questions, then with the group of technical leads that your job setting will be involved. The entire interview process from start to finish took about 2 months, but all interviews were generally pleasant and professional.
- Technical questions, background experience, project examples, etc.

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at J.S. Held in Feb 2022
Very pleasant, was given a video interview for both interviews. The application process was extremely quick, I heard back within a day of applying of my interview. All my questions were answered and I was given a clear expectation of the company and position.
- Where do you see yourself in five years?

Anonymous Employee
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at J.S. Held
The interview process went very smooth. I was informed of each step of the process along the way and the recruiter reached out to me each time to get my feedback. I conducted phone and video interviews.
- What interested me in J.S. Held as well as the position?

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I applied online. I interviewed at J.S. Held
Applied online. Heard from a recruiter almost two weeks later asking for samples, my resume, and when I am available for a phone interview. Sent the email with everything she asked and heard nothing back after a week and a half.
- What is your availability for a phone interview?

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I applied online. I interviewed at J.S. Held
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.
- "Tell us about yourself." "Are you still employed with xxxx?" "Why do you want to leave xxxx?"

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Tampa, FL
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at J.S. Held (Tampa, FL) in Feb 2021
While the HR recruiter was quick, responsive and gave a clear description of the role, the hiring manager was extremely condescending, oddly defensive and did not give an overview of the role.
- To give an overview of what I thought the position entailed.

Anonymous Employee
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at J.S. Held in Nov 2020
Very Professional, the interviewer was the company's vice president. Awesome guy, it was more of a conversation between industry professionals. During this discussion we talked about previous work experience, company goals, company growth, etc. I felt very comfortable during the Interview process and left me motivated on joining J.S. Held LLC.
- All questions were regarding my resume and the Job description provided.
