Aerotek interview questions

The hiring and interview process made me realize I have no desire to work for this company. I applied online for the position of an entry level recruiter. They immediately responded via email that they would set up a phone interview and a face to face interview after that. We scheduled an interview for the following day. I was at my phone at the time we agreed upon, but the phone call went straight to voice mail. I immediately called back. The interviewer asked if I had screened her call, and wasn't happy I hadn't picked up when she placed the call. After explaining my phone never rang, we continued with the interview. It was basic questions - tell me about yourself, an obstacle you have overcome, etc. She was pleasant through these questions until she asked about my expected salary. The basic recruiter salary was 33k plus commissions. I asked what her top entry level recruiters made, and that I expected to be in that range. She would not give me this information, and demanded I give her a figure. I told her that I expected to work hard, be a top performer and earn good commissions - but was not comfortable giving her an exact number without more information. She was not happy with this answer and told me she was not trying to "low-ball" me but that she needed to know my expected salary. I told her that I was not trying to offend her with my answer, but she kept pressing for a number. I told her I didn't mind working long hours and did not have a set salary - I just wanted to contribute to a company and feel proud to work there. She said I still did not answer her question, and then she said I guess we will have to move on. I will not follow up with the face-to-face interview if offered. For me, her poor attitude affected how I viewed the company and the people I would be working with. No, thank you.

They interviewed in a very unenthusiastic manner. It seemed as though they themselves didn't enjoy the job. Then they didn't offer me the position. After asking for feedback, they told me I needed more energy. It was ridiculous. Any more energy would've come off really fake. My advice: Be excited to be there. Ensure that you use the STAR method and give plenty of details for behavioral questions. Be money-driven.
