J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez International SOS en juin 2019
Entretien
Following my application on LinkedIn, an HR representative emailed me requesting my availability for an introductory call. She emailed me back on the following Monday asking if was I available the very same day giving me only 3 hours notice. I found that rather inconsiderate but nonetheless I decided to take the call. We went through my cv and experience and the only thing she seemed to care about was how many product categories I had to deal with in my previous roles given that in International SOS they have more than 200 categories. A week later she got in touch saying that they wanted to meet me face to face. I replied with my availability and then I was contacted by another HR representative. Interview was agreed for the following Monday at 830am, it was Thursday afternoon. He said that he would have confirmed everything by email. I never received that confirmation therefore I didn't turn up at the interview. I left him a vm and messages on LinkedIn and also emailed the first contact but nothing. Only today, 2 weeks later, he called saying that there had been an internal misunderstanding. In the meantime he said they found the right candidate so they wouldn't reschedule the interview with me. I went through hundreds of interviews during my 20 year career and never ever had such an unprofessional and disrespectful treatment by an employer.

J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris plus de 2 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez International SOS (Jesi) en août 2022
Entretien
Screening interview + 3 interviews with managers. No details on pay or job conditions shared beforehand. After 2 months I was successfully selected but they retired the offer when I asked them to pay for my… social security! I also asked to pay the non competition clause as it’s normal everywhere in the world but they like not to. 2 months of total waste of time
J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez International SOS (Washington, DC) en mai 2022
Entretien
I interviewed with the recruiter who was great. She then had a Zoom interview with the hiring manager. The next phase was to meet the hiring manager in person. which required travel arrangements. After that interview, I was moved along to interview with the VP Sales - New Business.
The in-person meeting with the hiring manager was more conversational, getting-to-know-you type interview over lunch with no real typical interview questions asked unless I asked the questions, which I thought was kind of off. He mentioned that he was unable to find a candidate that had all that he had hoped for, but he felt positive about moving me into the next phase.
The interview with the VP was a little more in-depth. The VP was pleasant enough and focused on consultative selling. We were scheduled for only 30 minutes but ended up talking for over an hour. To be honest, I was surprised and disappointed to not get the offer. Though I'm rating it a positive, the interview experience was neither positive or negative. I've been through better and I've been through worse.
