A Corporate Recruiter reached out to me via LinkedIn. I responded three months later when I was in the market for a job out of college. I had a 25 minute phone conversation (initial interview screen) with the corporate recruiter that initially reached out. She invited me to an in-person interview scheduled 7 days in the future. That interview went as follows: Walked in, was dressed business professional. Asked for my corporate recruiter. We sat down and it felt like we spent a minute as she refreshed her memory on what we talked about the week prior on the phone. She briefed me and tried to prep me for the next two people I'd be speaking with. The first was a Senior Account Manager. Interview was very conversational based. I forget how long this interview lasted, but it went well. Probably 20 minutes. Next, she grabbed another Account Manager. That was shorter. Felt like I was out of energy. I left feeling good but not great. I got a call 4 days later. I made it to the final interview. The interview was set up for that Friday. Only 10% of applicants make it to this stage (or so they claim). The final interview was great. I had lunch (on the company's dollar) with a company executive. I really enjoyed the conversation and thought it was a great way to get to know someone. The car ride, the restaurant context. All of that speaks to who a person is. I left feeling great. They said they'd contact me the following Tuesday. Tuesday came, no call. Wednesday I got a call. They decided not to move forward.
