I interviewed at Q2 HR Solutions (Quezon City, National Capital Region)
Interview
This agency operates on a purely transactional basis, showing a disappointing disregard for both candidates and the long-term needs of their clients. The recruiters treat professionals as commodities rather than talent. Because their fee structure is success-based, their sole focus is rushing to close a placement for a commission, entirely abandoning the ethics of proper talent acquisition.
The candidate experience is incredibly poor. In my experience, if a client decides not to move forward, candidates are dropped without any closure. There is no professional courtesy or basic decency to provide an application status update. Recruiters with this mindset belong in high-turnover sales or leasing, not executive search. By commodifying individuals, they do a disservice to their corporate clients, severely limiting the chances of finding the right long-term fit. From what I observed, they fail to deliver a professional, end-to-end recruitment process.

Question 1
Despite your asking salary, could you fit into a much lower budget?
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Q2 HR Solutions
Interview
Smooth and straightforward. They test and scrutinize your knowledge of the field and weigh it against your experience. Overall, I felt the interview was fair and effective. There were no unnecessary or irrelevant questions asked and the interviewer was polite and professional.

Question 1
What were notable projects or initiatives you oversaw?
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Q2 HR Solutions (Makati City) in Sep 2023
Interview
The interview process just consists of two phases. An Initial interview with the HR and Final interview with the Hiring Manager or Operations Lead. The HR will inform the candidate if they pass or not.

Question 1
Since I am a fresh graduate during that time, their questions were more about my internship journey and myself.
