I applied by answering a post on Linkedin. 3 days later they got in touch with me by e-mail, proposing me a phone/skype interview. The recreuiter proposed several hours on a Google Calendar and I chose one. Next tuesday she called me and asked several general questions about my background, my experiences, the most challenging role of my career, my very best tool (strength) and how I would solve legal and regulation issues among others. It was a smooth and kind interview but English is not my first second language so I failed to say all I wanted to say, I fell too short on my answers. (I asked myself if it's really neccessary to master English since as local manager you are not supposed to interact in a daily basis with HQ in SF) For me it was a really superficial approach and I don't really get why they decided to let a foreigner (based in SF) to do the recruitment of a very local employee. The job post talks about "solve local things locally" but they prefer to use a overseas recruiter who knows nothing about local matters. I perceived an attempt to evaluate my entreprenurial skills (I had my own business for 7 years, i sold it in a very good moment and it's still running very successfully) but i think this kind of habilities can't be evaluated over a 20 minutes phone interview. It was ok but I expected a more structured interview, i didn't really understand what the goal was.
