Temp to Perm at Aerotek

No Offer – Interviewed in Chesapeake, VA (US) Apr 2013 – Reviewed May 10, 2013 New

Interview Details Typical and short. Interviewer was very nice and asked all the basic questions as well as past salary and expected salary. He actually had a particular job in mind for me, but after consulting with the client, my background ultimately didn't match what they needed. It was an opportunity to interview.

Interview Question – All questions were typical interview questions; none of them hit me from left field. I was more taken aback by how I was selected for the interview: for my secondary experience, not my primary.   Answer Question

Recruiter at Aerotek

Accepted Offer – Reviewed May 04, 2013

Interview Details I was initially called by an internal recruiter and set up another time to talk in more detail. She called me back a few days later, asked me a few questions about my interests, why recruiting, where I wanted to live, etc. I was immediately asked to complete an in person interview and scheduled that for the next week. I had a one on one interview with one of the sales executives because the branch manager, who I was originally supposed to interview with, was unavailable (I was notified beforehand that this may happen). We talked for 45-60 mins. Mainly behavioral based questions (think STAR method) and a little bit about myself, my experiences in college, leadership positions, etc. He showed me around the office a little and immediately told me I would be advancing to the next step, a half day shadow. The half day lasted around 3 hours, I sat with 2 different recruiters, they discussed their day to day with me a bit, showed me around the office, and allowed me to ask questions. I then had an interview that lasted about 45 minutes with the branch manager and two account executives. Again, very behavioral based, but more based around recruiting and sales. I was told I would hear back by the end of the day Monday (interviewed on a Thursday). They called Monday morning with an offer.

Declined Offer – Reviewed May 02, 2013

Interview Details Interviewers (senior recruiter and sales team manager) were welcoming and friendly. They expect that you are familiar with the recruiter position (pay structure, working hours, duties). What they are looking for are individuals who know what to expect from the position and are still willing to commit. So show that.

Interview Question – What motivates you?   View Answer

No Offer – Interviewed in Schaumburg, IL (US) Apr 2013 – Reviewed Apr 29, 2013

Interview Details Applied online, received a phone call and email follow up about a week or two later. Had me come in to do a panel interview in person, then asked to come back for a half day shadow, which I never ended up doing due to accepting a different offer. If I hadn't received the other offer I would have continued to pursue this opportunity.

Interview Question – They send you a list of questions they'll ask you and how you'll be reviewed. As long as you read the packet, you'll know what they'll ask.   Answer Question

No Offer – Interviewed in Piscataway, NJ (US) Apr 2013 – Reviewed Apr 27, 2013

Interview Details I was phone screened twice by a corporate recruiter in PA. A couple of days later, I went in for a panel interview with the director and an account manager. The director of operations only asked non-work related questions as to get a feel of your personality and if you are sales driven, while the account manager just listened in during the conversation and didn't give much input. Overall, both managers were non-informative and it seems that they don't care about their employees.

Administrative Assistant at Aerotek

No Offer – Reviewed Mar 25, 2013

Interview Details I put in my resume and 2 days later, I got a phone call from HR to talk about why I wanted to apply for this job. At the end of that initial phone call, we scheduled a phone interview to talk a little bit more about the job. The phone interview was mostly an explanation of the position and how to prepare for the in-person interview.

The HR person that I first spoke to was very nice and helpful; sending me links and sample questions that they might ask. The in-person interview was scheduled for the next week. I was interviewed by 2 people, and it was a very informal situational interview.

Interview Question – Describe a situation in which you took on more than you could handle.   Answer Question
