      Recruiter Interview

      Mar 15, 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at TikTok (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2021

      Interview

      I was reached out be an external vendor on Linkedin about this role, he gave me a quick overview on the position and moved be forward to speak with a recruiter on the team. The recruiter asked pretty standard questions around PTR, recruiting strategy etc. After that phone call, I moved forward to a video interview with a Recruiting Manager (I think?) and Hiring Manager that I would work with. That interview seemed to go well, again same questions around velocity/speed of hiring, hiring a growing company. It seemed like the team was still fleshing out a formal recruiting process and strategy, but mainly focus on hiring all the headcount they had opened in this business function. At the end of the day, I was rejected via email, for a role in Seattle (that I did not apply for!) Seems like they should focus a bit more on interview process and candidate experience, slow down a bit so that they can get organized.

      Thank you for taking the time to write a thoughtful review. We hold our recruiters to high standards of organization in order to make the candidate experience as smooth as possible, but it's clear that your experience fell short and the communication left a lot to be desired. We do not want to sacrifice quality for the sake of speed. We've relayed your feedback to our local team, and whether it be with us or elsewhere, we wish you the best in your next role!
