I applied online. I interviewed at UKG (Indianapolis, IN)
Interview
Very easy to apply. Just need to submit a resume online. Was contacted in a very reasonable amount of time. HR was very polite and friendly, but I think that's to be expected in a company that works on HR software.
Standard phone screening after that. Simple questions about your background, resume, and education. Fairly simple and straightforward. They then will tell you that they will contact you soon if they're interested in moving forward.
After this point, you will be invited on site to interview and participate in a case competition amongst the other candidates you're being considered with. This is where the process gets a little shaky. For the sake of time, they funnel you in to interview with all different people. Not sure who they are or what their background is, but in my interview, it was very informal. The interviewer didn't really ask me any questions about my resume and only asked me one question from the sheet that Kronos probably wanted him to use to get a good idea of if I was a good candidate or not. Overall this was the most disappointing part of the process and I think Kronos did a really poor job in feeling out the skills and talents of those who were interviewing.
Once you finished with your interview, you watch a presentation about things Kronos offers to employees and why they think they're one of the best companies to work for. After this, you start working on the case competition and they will feed you lunch.
The case competition was fairly straightforward. They ask you a very broad and open-ended question and then you try and come up with a creative solution. The teams they put you in are at random, so good luck if you end up getting some not so favorable matchups.
Overall, I think that this was a positive experience, and I think Kronos is ahead of the game when it comes to interviewing candidates and making it a really great experience. However, I think there's also a lot of improvement to be made in the individual interviewing portion. Check up on the basics before you go into more innovative ways of recruitment.
Very simple took maybe 15 mins for initial calll. Basic tell me about yourself and a few behavioral questions. There is another round if selected with the team where you get more behavioral and situational questions
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at UKG
