    Difficult Interview

    Interview

    The interview was by phone. The questions were difficult and I have worked in the field for 40 years and I was not prepared for what it seems to me not very much related with the field and work that we actually do.

    Application

    I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at The Joint Commission (Oak Brook, IL) in May 2018.

    Interview

    I really should have taken the negative Glassdoor candidate interview reviews of this organization to heart as well as the number of "no offers made". Lesson learned: trust your gut especially if something seems a little off/atypical during the interview process. The process itself took over 8 weeks, which can be greatly improved upon. Phone screen, one-way Montage video (6 interview questions), then onsite for 2 hour interview with director, manager and several staff members. Was told the hiring decision would be made within a week. Then was told they were interviewing more candidates, some internal. 2 weeks later, still no decision was made. HR uses contractors who do not follow-up or communicate to the candidates the process very well or provide any feedback. You find yourself contacting them for next steps and updates. Overall, their hiring process and lack of decisiveness in making a prompt hiring decision once the interviews were complete was a disappointment to say the least, which makes you definitely wonder about their internal culture. Wasting candidates time doesn't reflect well on your brand image. Also, was the job truly open or was an internal candidate already slotted for the job???

    Application

    The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at The Joint Commission in April 2018.

    Interview

    Had a phone interview with a Recruiter, then had to submit a video interview, then had an office interview with 3 people. Overall it was positive, but one interviewer spent a full hour grilling me about the details of my current company’s performance appraisal document. Tiny details were reviewed in such depth that I felt like I should have brought the actual appraisal document with me - “what is the scale, what is the scale at each level, how many categories are there, how were those categories determined, what is each category employees are rated on, what is the average distribution of ratings,” etc. I felt like I was being interrogated, and he barely made any eye contact with me. It was a very odd interview since we spent the entire time talking about minute details of my company’s performance appraisal form.

    Application

    I applied online. The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at The Joint Commission (Chicago, IL) in September 2017.

    Interview

    Had a phone interview, which went well. I was asked to come in for a face-to-face. I sent my availability and was asked to come at time that was not convenient. However, I took a half day off work and came.

    I thought the interview went well. I sent a thank you email and sent a follow after two weeks. It's been over a month. No response nor a rejection letter. Given the unprofessionalism, not sure I would want to work here.

    Easy Interview

    Application

    I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at The Joint Commission in March 2016.

    Interview

    The initial contact was via email to submit an online video interview. It was about 5 questions. I received a call from HR the following week to come in. I met with the heads of the department first then the team leads - I found the heads of the dept overly friendly but the communication was great; the leads were I believe a little stand offish in the beginning but then warmed up. I was told I would hear back within a week. Never heard back and this was back in March. I went on vacation end of April so decided to email the one head of the department to inquire if I was still being considered - silence. I honestly thought the overall interview had gone well. But anyway, I kept getting new job alerts to my email from the company and saw this position constantly being re-posted on the site so I believe they were waiting for someone they knew to apply or none of the applicants that had applied were what they were looking for.. any who, I think a common courtesy email of thank you for interviewing but we've decided to move forward with another applicant would of been nice.

    Combination phone, video, in person process, very detailed spelled out by recruiter.

Enjoyed the opportunity to learn more about the company focus, history and role itself. There is information on their website about the different programs. Everyone was very friendly throughout the process.

    I applied online. I interviewed at The Joint Commission (Oak Brook, IL).

    Interview

    It was a professional interview, but the director kept yawning and seemed uninterested and distracted. Initially I interviewed with the director, then she brought in the assistant. The assistant was there to judge personality since this position works closely with her. The typically questions were asked, the environment was in the directors office.

    Easy Interview

    Application

    I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Joint Commission (Oak Brook, IL) in June 2015.

    Interview

    The initial application process was very easy; however, the phone interview is where it went bad. The talent acquisition specialist that I was speaking with seemed very aloof, not prepared and didn't give me much concerning the job duties or the company. She asked me if I had any questions for her concerning the job within five minutes of the call but then only asked me two questions about myself. The phone interview was literally ten minutes. Then she asked me if I can come for an interview a day before she wanted me to come. I am still employed so an email indicating if I was available with a couple of options would have been nice.
