I applied online. The process took 9 months. I interviewed at OC Animal Care
Interview
The recruiting process is very long. It took us 9 months to reach final interviews, with periods of 2 months without any sort of communications.
Most (98%, I would say) of the communications were via e-mail. Initially with the recruiter for the county (OC HR Svcs) and at the last stages of the process directly with the hiring manager.
Well planned interviews, 3 interviews with different levels of management, including one with your prospect team members and the director at the end.
1 video interview, which is really an assessment video. You arrive and they give you 3 questions that are video recorded. Then distributed to a hiring panel. They choose the pool of interviewers at the OC Animal Care.
Before the panel, there are a couple of questionnaires. You basically have to follow their instructions carefully. Do not copy and paste from resume. Elaborate your responses at this stage. Copying and pasting would disqualify you.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A dog is euthanized after following the shelter policies and procedures. The dog belonged to a person who is friend/related to one of the OC councillors. The councillor might take this situation and could use it politically. How would you handle this situation?
