I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at The Hartford in Apr 2017
Interview
There is a HR pre-screen call. Once pre-screened and interview was set up with the manager. There may or may not be a second interview with a regional vp.
I applied online. I interviewed at The Hartford (Needham, MA)
Interview
Only made it as far as first round phone screen. They used an outsourced recruiter who didn't know a ton about the company and who did not have any apparent understanding of the legal market. Instead of being asked about my qualifications and experience, I was asked extensively about my work history in its entirety, including odd jobs I did through college and law school that had no substantive impact on my competence as an attorney. Instead of fleshing out my law-related qualifications, I was busy rambling off various waitressing jobs I have had over the years at the recruiter's insistence.
Wonderful experience. I applied online and within 2 weeks I had a phone interview, in-person interview and received an offer. The in-house recruiter was very helpful throughout the entire process.
