I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual (San Francisco, CA) in Dec 2011
Interview
Applied online. Went through a phone screen a few days later. Scheduled an interview two days later. I prepared very intensely for the interview. Studied all aspects of the company, took their sales test, prepared recruiting strategies and prepared for anticipated questions. Both the phone screen and one-on-one interview were with the head recruiter. A couple of candidates moved on to a second round. Prepping is a must for an interview! I've never prepped so much for one. Bring your A++ game. They prefer experience in recruiting for commission-only jobs.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Northwestern Mutual in Feb 2026
Interview
There was a 3-step interview process. I met with the Managing Partner and HR in the 3rd round for a presentation.
Everyone was very helpful and information about the role.
Did about 5 rounds, 2 of which were in person then got ghosted. Followed up twice with no response, the team did react to my linkedin post when I got a new job too which was weird.
