I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Gartner (Melbourne) in Jul 2024
Interview
Initial phone interview with recruiter internal to Gartner then a Teams based interview with a skills assessor.
These are all behavioural based questions however you are led to the answers in most cases.
The final interview in my case was unprofessional.
Two sales managers and a VP invited, a scenario sent to me to prepare for a roleplay (for a over a week).
A preparation session with the Gartner recruiter for the interview also as part of the build up/ time and efforts.
To only be told in the interview that they don't do the Roles Plays online and like to do them face to face (was never explained to me).
I was then advised they would like to meet me face to face and contacted by a recruitment co-ordinator post interview to talk about dates.
The next day I was contacted again by a different person in Recruitment at Gartner to advise they wouldn't be going ahead with me.
Unprofessional, liars, time wasters and highly egotistical.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions around motivation- what motivates you etc?
They have reached out to me for a job every year and I have interviewed with them 2 times and have never made it past the 1st interview. Confused why a recruiter reaches out to me anymore?
It was long and rigorous, often feeling extremely high pressure, with not a lot of constructive criticism. There are 5 rounds and each with a role-play. It's safe to say this is not an easy interview process. I'm not sure how they do their prospecting, but I was apparently a 'great fit' for the role - didn't show that enthusiasm during our calls.
Intensive - multiple rounds led by a recruiter. Expect 2 rounds of role play, around 4 rounds total. 2 with a recruiter, one with a lead skills expert and another panel with VPs and hiring managers.
