I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Hertz (Chicago, IL) in May 2014
Interview
Initial contact from recruiter to further gauge interest and see if I still wanted to interview. Agreed to take a call for a phone interview from the recruiter the next day. 30 minute phone interview with recruiter to gauge knowledge and experience. After phone interview, I was invited to interview with local HR peers. Interviewed with two HR people at the same time, standard battery of experience questions with some behavioral interview questions. Maybe 45 minutes with the two of them. They laid out a realistic job preview detailing the downsides of the job including frustrations with quarterly hiring freezes and a messed up accounting system that hasn't paid proper sales bonuses to the CSR team in two years. Sounds like a frustrating organization to work for. The people I interviewed with were nice enough, but even they didn't know what the next steps in the interview process would be and what the timeline would be like. From my continued job search, it looks like they've since downgraded the position to an Associate HR Business Partner instead of regular HR Business Partner, but no follow-up from corporate to let me know what was going on with my application at all.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Really basic behavioral questions. Look up sample behavioral interview questions online and practice answering several before an interview. You should be OK.
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Hertz (Chicago, IL) in Nov 2021
Interview
I went through all four rounds of the interview process (recruiter, team member, in-person with hiring manager, and executive leader). After the last round, I waited about a week and a half for a response from the recruiter and received nothing. I then reached out for an update and still haven't received a response. I happily accepted another job offer that is more this job at Hertz could have offered, but I believe it's incredibly unprofessional to have a candidate go through all rounds of the interview process only to not provide a final update for them. Hiring team and recruiter need to do better. This company is still trying to recover from 2020 so if they didn't move me forward due to compensation expectations, it's a simple email that could have wrapped up my process. But to leave it linger and avoid emails from a candidate who dedicated their time for four rounds is absolutely unprofessional and rude.
I applied in-person. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Hertz
Interview
I was contacted for a phone interview regarding the role and setup a virtual interview. The virtual interview lasted 30 mins and seem to go really well. I was invited for an in person interview in which I spoke with HR manager over the region. I waited weeks which I was given the run around regarding my status for the interview. Recruiter finally responded and stated the interview went well. After that I never heard from the recruiter again.
