Very unprofessional recruiter. Not sure if he had not looked at my resume before but he had a script of questions and kept asking me the same questions over again. Why did you leave your last job. Then asked me if my current job was a contract. Yes. Why are you looking to leave. Because it’s a contract? Like no common sense just reading a script. Also the role was low balled and labeled as “senior associate” when based on the JD and scope it is a VP or Director level role. I asked about this and he got extremely defensive
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at New York Life (New York, NY) in Nov 2024
Interview
I interviewed for a role in which I had a high skills match. They were enthusiastic through the first three rounds (including in house recruiter screening) and the hiring manager, and then another manager. I was disappointed there was no follow up for several weeks and counting after that interview. (And yes I sent thank yous to each interviewer.) Obviously the organization moved on but I think it's unprofessional or at least not ideal to not communicate for that long, even to let you know they are going in another direction.
Very thorough and not pretentious. Each person gave a very candid view of the business, the company and the practical side of Human Resources. Very comfortable 'getting to know you' style of interview from everyone I spoke with.
