Entretien
As an independent recruiter I was contacted via LinkedIn several times by a corporate recruiter to work on a special recruiting project. The first two times she didn't get back to me after I reached back out to her several times. I never heard from her again. Then she contacted me about a year later and we had some back and forth emails then we spoke via phone. All seemed kosher. Next, I met with a VP and she described the project with more clarity. Further, another employee, who sold the project, came in and met with me and discussed it in further detail. I exchanged emails with the sales person where colleagues were discussing the project. The VP stated that I would hear something from them in the next day or two and that she would reach out. The corporate recruiter reached back out to me on a Thursday and asked if I was available to fly out of town to meet with the client on a day or two notice to which I agreed. So I waited and then emailed and called... Nothing. I have never heard from them to this day. I gave them a week and emailed again. Finally, I emailed stating I'd appreciate an update on the project. I was fine with the fact that the project either fell through or they used someone else, but I have never had so many meetings, discussions, calls and emails regarding a project and then no follow up at all, especially when I was contacting them and all they had to do was send a quick email stating that the project was on hold, etc. Very unprofessional!

Had a phone interview with recruiter then never heard anything after that. Typically, you would at least be told they weren’t moving forward with your application, but they never said anything at all.

Friendly interviewers that reflects their work and communication style. Never had an interview this pleasant when applying for jobs. Most recruiters I've met are robotic and the conversation didn't feel natural. Interviews at TransPerfect however, was almost like a lunch break chats at a coffee shop. They were focused on assessing cultural and work style compatibility, past achievements, and probably my communication style as well.

There was an initial phone screen followed by 3 additional rounds of video interviews with 5 additional people. The phone screen was with an intern, and then there was meetings with 2 members of the recruitment team based in NYC, followed by meetings with the 2 members special projects team based in NYC, followed by a meeting with anther member of the recruitment team based in Miami. The entire process, including the checking of my references, was overseen by an INTERN, who clearly had no control over the process or understanding of how an interview process should be run. I had to continuously follow up for updates and nearly everyone I met with seemed incredibly uninterested in their work or seemed to have no idea what they were actually talking about. It was all INCREDIBLY unprofessional. One of the most senior women on the special projects team that I met with spent most of my interview talking about how previous employees didn't like to work hard and that's why she left. She complained about how they would leave TransPerfect poor Glassdoor reviews when they left. As of today, it looks like TransPerfect has a rating of 2.9. YIKES. My advice for the hiring team: learn how to conduct an interview in a professional manner. It is SHOCKING to me that you all work in recruitment/project management. Also, maybe don't have an intern handle your hiring process... The interview process was spread out across about 8 weeks and I never heard anything additional following all these rounds of interviews, having my references checked, etc., despite following up with said intern multiple times. Based on the Glassdoor reviews from current/past employees, it seems that this interview process is reflective of what the working environment/culture at TransPerfect. My advice to prospective employees based on my interview experience: don't waste your time. Your time and effort will not be respected and these folks are incredibly unprofessional.
