I applied through other source. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Thomson Reuters (Eagan, MN) in Sep 2010
Interview
A co-worker at my previous company referred me because she knew the hiring manager (and received a message from the hiring manager saying she was looking for available recruiters). My resume was forwarded to the hiring manager by my co-worker and about a week later I was called by the hiring manager. We spoke about my background and such (a phone screen/interview) and then she asked me to come in for an in person interview on-site. It was a half hour with the entire team: the hiring manager, another recruiter, and a recruiting coordinator. When I got on-site, I was amazed at how large the campus is...it is a huge building. I had to check in with security and the hiring manager came down to greet me. She showed me around a little - in route to the Starbucks on the fourth floor. The four of us just chatted in a corner of the Starbucks inside Thomson Reuters. I thought it was great. The place was packed, with other people having meetings or collaborating. They told me this meeting was mostly for me so I could learn about them. They did ask a few questions about whether I used Taleo, areas I recruited for, and how I like to work. I asked them several questions about their recruiting process (in terms of me working there) and why they came & stay at Thomson. I was told they had interviewed others and had one more to go the next day before a decision would be made. It was pleasant and afterwards I was brought back to the front desk to check out.
