Khoros Interview Questions

Application

I applied online. I interviewed at Khoros.

Interview

The first round was a screening phone call that you had to pass with one of the talent acquisition personnel. Once you were passed through to the next round of interviews it consisted of two sets of interviews that were both held over Zoom.

I applied online. The process took 6+ weeks. I interviewed at Khoros (Austin, TX).

Interview

A few online tests before a phone interview with a recruiter, and then 3 video interviews- hiring manager, senior PMO team and senior management. Overall, a very good experience; total hiring process from first call to offer took ~6 weeks.

Interview

I applied online and was contacted about a week later by a recruiter to do a phone interview. I was also sent information to take the CCAT test. I did the interview first because I was having issues with the software to take the proctored exam. I was moved along to the 2nd interview. I eventually took the CCAT test and failed it. I was given the opportunity to take it again and failed again. It's like taking your ACT in 15 minutes. You have 50 questions and have about 15 seconds per question. The mathematical questions aren't hard, but they may require a formula to figure out. And you don't have a calculator. So by the time you've written out the problem on your scratch paper, you've already lost 10 seconds. Extremely stressful. Out of what i can only assume was pity, they have me a 3rd and final try to pass this thing. I passed it finally and moved on to the 3rd and 4th interview. Shortly after that, I got an offer. Whole process took about 4 weeks from application to start date.

Interview

The interview process was great up until the end. I was offered the position of Social Media Coordinator and extremely excited to join the team. I had a great interview process that made me want to work for Khoros, including a great experience with the recruiter. Unfortunately, after the offer I was required to take the CCAT test like others have mentioned in their reviews. I did not pass the test and the offer was taken back. It was extremely upsetting because the test was very math intensive, and you only had roughly 18 seconds per question when these math problems take time to solve. I scored a 27 on my ACT, graduated from a state university, and I was fully qualified for the position. It's very upsetting to know that I was eliminated because of a test that I do not believe should be a determining factor at all, especially for the role I had been offered. The test is eliminating strong candidates and I would think the company would want to rethink requiring it. Lastly, I would like to add that I took a different version of the test at the beginning of the hiring process and passed that one, so to require a second one is once again, very frustrating. I'm very disappointed it turned out this way when I could be jumping on board and eager to get started in the role.

Interview

Hiring process is very long like the rest of the reviews say. Tests, a few interviews and a final round of grilling at the end. Good feedback back and forth until last round of interviews. Recruiter ghosted me after reaching out one week later about a final decision. They said they would get back, never did. Wasted a lot of my time making me feel like they had to clear some things up before extending an offer. This left a sour taste in my mouth in the end with the company. Wish I could've left a positive experience but I get it, they're busy, but leaving candidates in the dust is the last thing anyone wants. Just say yes/no!

Interview

I applied through the company website. I was contacted and asked to take a general competency test. Completed the test and was contacted within a day to complete a phone interview. Set the time and date and waited for the call. Nothing. I reached out to the recruiter and received a response that the recruiter was unavailable and they'd like to schedule another time and asked if I was available in the next few days. I replied yes and never heard from them again.

They wasted my time through the test taking and then the time I took to take the interview phone call that never happened.

Unprofessional and apparently unorganized.

Cancelled on me without any notice for the initial interview. Had to reach out and reschedule. Got passed off to a hiring manager, immediately within that 5 minutes of the conversation I knew didn't want to work at Khoros.

Interview

It is a very long interview process. First, you receive an automated response to complete the CCAT. Then, if you do really well on the CCAT you move on to do a phone screen with the recruiter. Then you do a proctored version of the CCAT with the recruiter over Google Hangouts. If you do well on the proctored version of the CCAT you interview with a Senior Strategist over Google Hangouts. Finally, if you pass the video interview, you are called in for an onsite interview, where you do two rounds of 2:1 interviews with Associate Strategists, a Senior Strategist, and a Social Media Strategist.

Application

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Khoros (Chicago, IL) in January 2020.

Interview

Standard process for salespeople. What really turned me off is when the interviewer/hiring manager infused his religious beliefs into the interview and was very judgmental. I was taken aback, religion has no place in the workplace or the interview process.

Interview

As an intern, it's helpful to share relevant experience and skills that you have that apply to the job description. They will review your resume after you apply and contact you to set up a phone interview or in person interview. Either or both is possible.
