Two initial asks, if recruiter responds to initial online application. First ask will be a Predictive Index Survey. This survey takes a few minutes. Second ask will be a TestGorilla assessment. This assessments, at random times, will take video.
Recruiter then reached out and stated they would like to schedule interview, with hiring manager. This required entering all application information, for a second time, to the company online system.
At this point, I asked company recruiter, if this position was backfill or new. She informed me backfill, as the previous employee had some health issues and had to leave the position. I did a Linkedin search for Ameriflex DBA. I found one name. I did a web search and tragically, in Plano, TX, found his obituary. I became concerned, as this employee had tragically died ten months earlier. Very clear warning sign, as this position had been open for multiple months, and nobody had been hired. Thoughts of the hiring manager may be in analysis paralysis, or perfect is the enemy of good territory.
Video Interview setup with hiring manager, developer, and scrum master. Typical what is your favorite color questions, and etc… Understandably, trying to find folks who work well in a team. I think hiring manager took a slight bad cop role. The other two team members more of the good cop role. Be prepared to use Google meet. I think these folks assume everyone else uses it. Be prepared for SQL questions on the fly, and display them real time on active meeting.
