Colourbox interview questions

The first interview was with the recruiter, then with the hiring manager (it was with the owner of the company) which went well. The next stage was a personality test and then a call where they went through the results with you, telling you what your personality is based on the results. I was rejected with a template email after that call. I think at this stage of the interview, especially after spending the time on the preparation, some more personalised feedback would be a decent thing to do.

This was the first interview in what I was told was a series of four recruiting tools (other interviews and tests) Overall not a positive experience. Questions relevant to the position were mixed with strange questions that were formulated and delivered with what seemed to me an intention to show my inadequacy. Example: You wrote in your Cv that you are a creative person. But we don't need creative people, a painter is creative, but he can't help us here. Everyone can be creative on their social media. We're looking for innovative people, not creative people." I was expected to respond to that. The interview gave me a general feeling that I had to defend myself, which left me with a heavy sense of being less-than, in more aspects that I thought were possible in a potential workplace. One of the two interviewees moved to look at their computer for minutes in the middle of the interview, without explaining it. At the end of the interview, I was told to think about whether or not I want to move on in the recruitment process, to which I replied Yes. Only to be told, after I said yes, that it's a No from them. I found that to be a demeaning tactic.
