I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at The Hartford
Interview
I applied online and received an email two days later setting up a phone interview time. The phone interview was your basic interview. Asking about prior work experience, why you are interested in the job, etc. The interviewer told me she was going to recommend me for the in person interview and that I would hear from a hiring manager the next day to set up a time. The next day I received a call and set up a time. The in person interview was done by two team leaders. They read all their questions from a prefabricated script. All easy questions dealing with customer service and your background in customer service. The interview was only about 20-25 minutes long. At the end I asked when they would be making their decision on hiring, they told me after the holidays(It was December). Much to my surprise I got a call the next week offering me the job.

I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at The Hartford (Indianapolis, IN)
Interview
Applied in mid May. The day I applied I had to take a pre-employment assessment. It also had like a call center mock assessment in there to feature what you'll be doing and also making sure you could do it. A little more than a month later I got a email stating to do a 20-30 min phone assessment. Phone assessment briefly explains the position and salary. Got invited to do a in person interview the following day at their location. Lasted about 20 mins. Very easy & personable. A mini tour of their building.

Question 1
Explain a time where you handled a difficult customer.
After applying, I received an email to complete an online assessment which took a good amount of time. Following the online assessment, I had an over the phone interview in which I was asked basic questions to determine whether I would receive the opportunity for an in person interview. My in person interview was very easygoing; I was interviewed by two employees who made the meeting very comfortable.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at The Hartford (Windsor, CT) in Feb 2015
Interview
There was a mandatory pre-employment online assessment, followed by a half hour phone interview with a recruiter asking basic customer service and career goal questions, then an in person interview with 2 department supervisors. Most questions were customer related or time management related. They are looking for some amount of personality, but want to make sure you can still be robotic and follow corporate America standards.
