The IGD Firm interviews FAQs
The hiring process at The IGD Firm takes an average of 2 days when considering 3 user submitted interviews across all job titles.

Candidates applying for Distributor had the quickest hiring process (on average 2 days), whereas Distributor roles had the slowest hiring process (on average 2 days).
It was more of a sales pitch than an interview. I got the impression that the company just needed warm bodies to peddle products, and if I didn't do well then I could easily be replaced. I wasn't comfortable being offered the job without having to prove that I was qualified or would be a good fit.

Interview
Their interview process is very misleading. I had two interviews - the first was with the head of the company, who assured me that this was no sales job and expressed how he graduated from law school to run a company like this. But when I had my second interview, a hands-on experience watching them work, it was just a sales job. The paid 3-6 month management training course is nice and all, but once that's over, you work on 100% commission.
This is a door-to-door sales job, except you go to businesses instead of people's homes. You basically take the product, demonstrate it to the individuals who give you the time of day, and convince them to buy make-up. Then you make 35% of the profit. And that's your pay for the day. If you're good at sales and like the idea of going door to door, then this job is great. If you actually want to earn money salaried or hourly, find somewhere better.
If you're hired and can hire three people under you, you are given a 'management' position and are in charge of managing those three individuals, and whoever else you can manage. Then a portion of their sales (30%) goes towards office and administration fees, and the excess of that amount goes to you.
In short, it's a sales job that eats up your gas because you're the one who has to find your own transportation to sell the product. It appears a lot like a pyramid scheme, except you're selling products and you don't have to pay to join (or at least, they didn't state this to me upon interview - but I wouldn't be surprised if you did once the management training was done).
For being in business for ten years, supposedly, it still feels awfully shady.

Question 1
There wasn't one, not really. It was your typical "Why did you apply?", "Why do you think you'd be a good fit?", and "Are you a people person?"
