I interviewed at General Kinematics (Crystal Lake, IL)
Interview
They use recruiters to hire, I had a call with a recruiter who reached out via email. The recruiter had a passion for the company and spent most of the time explaining the company structure and culture, with very few questions asked. The call lasted over an hour and after that I was ghosted.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The recruiter only asked me to explain my experience and resume.
I had a phone interview with the company and thought it went well. The person I spoke with reiterated several times that it seemed like I would be a good fit for the role and stated that an in-person interview would be the next step if they decided to move forward. I was also told I would hear back within a week. I never received a response and the job listing was taken down. I understand if they wanted to go with another candidate but being ghosted after having a positive conversation was disappointing.
The interview process was smooth and I enjoyed it a lot. The interviewer was very respectful and positive. Unfortunately, I didn't land the position but would recommend anyone interested to apply.
