A recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn, we had a 10min phone screen where I stated I wasn’t really interested in working weekends and they replied with a typical sales pitch of “how much money would it take for you to be willing to work weekends?” I decided to go through with an interview after that just for the experience. The next step was a 25min “rapid fire” interview. It honestly felt robotic and like a waste of time. It definitely made me feel like a number and not a person as it was clear that the recruiter was just reading off questions that were being recorded to then be filtered through a software and assigned numeric values based on my responses. This could have been accomplished through an online assessment or a pre-recorded video interview; there was no need to have a live recruiter ask me these questions since it’s not like we were having an actual conversation and there was no time or space for me to ask questions back about the job. It was all one-sided. They asked if I thought it was okay to use fear/intimidation or lie to close a sale multiple times in multiple different ways. I said no each time and explained a better approach, but I didn’t get an offer which leads me to believe that they are looking more for sharks and not for customer service minded people, even though they claim to be hiring food & beverage industry people for this job and not sales specific people. (I wouldn’t know why I didn’t get an offer since I didn’t receive feedback, even though direct feedback is purportedly something they highly value). They also bluntly asked if I care more about work or family…if a company has to ask that it’s because they expect to be the biggest priority in your life which isn’t realistic. Also, they don’t offer any kind of parental or maternity leave which is really lame for a company that brags about how much money they make and about being an amazing place to work. The Conner Group is looking for cult members, not employees.

A total of five quick interviews, the first one is basic questions. The second one was a bit of a personality assessment and you give quick answers. The third and fourth were done on video. The last one is done in office.
