I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Meta in Oct 2024
Interview
This was a recruiter prescreening call for the Sourcer contract role I was referred to at Meta.
With extensive experience in talent acquisition, I felt that my qualifications and commitment to the role were not fully considered.
Having previously worked alongside many recruiters still working at Meta who are familiar with my work ethic and expertise, it was disappointing to encounter this approach.
The recruiter, seemed rushed and emphasized her need to move quickly through her questions. This made the conversation feel transactional rather than engaging, leaving me with the impression that my responses and interest in the role were less valued. A bit more time and openness could significantly enhance the candidate experience, helping candidates feel welcomed and truly considered during the process.

Interview
The first interview was a call with a Recruiter going through the typical, experience, performance questions, data and more.

I did not hear back feedback for 2 weeks.
Got an offer was was given 24h to make a decision which was a bit pressing.
Had 2 recruiter calls and then 3 individual 1:1 interviews. Each 1:1 took about 30 min and all were recruiting managers. Each interviewer was managing different recruiting teams and probed into different focus areas: strategy, collaboration, and candidate experience.
