      Recruiter Interview

      Feb 28, 2016
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      San Francisco, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Block (San Francisco, CA)

      Interview

      I applied for a recruiter role back in the beginning of January and heard back from a recruiter for a phone screen about a month later. We scheduled a call for that week and never heard from her. As I waited for our call, I emailed her letting her know if she needed to reschedule. I received an email about an hour later letting me know that they have a fire evacuation and that she needed to reschedule. She let me know when she was available and I threw out a time that we could speak. When that time came, didn't hear from the recruiter. I sent another email confirming our time, but never heard back. I was trying to give the benefit of the doubt that something came up and waited a couple of days. It's now been 3 weeks with no contact with the recruiter. As a recruiter, this is HORRIBLE communication with a candidate. Facts to note: -the role is still open -the person I was working with was the recruiting lead, which i'm assuming would have been my manager

      Hi, Thank you for taking the time to write about your experience. We were really disappointed to read about your interview process — definitely not cool, and we're really sorry. We'll discuss your feedback with the recruiter immediately. Fire alarms and evacuations happen often in SF, but that’s no excuse. We will work to make sure that our recruiters are more organized and are in better communication with their candidates. The candidate experience is very important at Square and we value your feedback. Best, The Square Talent Team

      Recruiter Interview

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Dublin, Dublin
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Block (Dublin, Dublin) in Feb 2022

      Interview

      Very messy Dealing with a Recruiter in the US that would only tell me interview confirmation times in her time zone. They were unable to tell me how many interviews would be in the process. I had 3 but was told it could be approx 6. Was never given feedback from the final interview had to check their online portal to find out not selected. Very poor candidate experience makes me believe they don't live by the values they preach about during the process. May have dodged a bullet.

      San Bernardino, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Block (San Bernardino, CA) in Sep 2021

      Interview

      The process was very well thought out and structured. The company did a great job of making me feel valued and it was a welcoming process. They move very quickly and offer negotiation was a pleasure. Answered all of my questions thoroughly. Skye did an amazing job of painting a clear picture of the team and was very open during the interview. There weren't any questions designed to stump you and every interviewer made me feel comfortable even though I get nervous in interviews.

      Interview

      This was the worst interview experience I have ever had. As a recruiter myself I have an understanding of the process and get how busy and hectic things can be however the way they treated me was inexcusable. For starters the recruiter was 7 minutes late to our call and unapologetic about it. She was incredibly low energy and apathetic with no excitement about Square. I could tell she was reading from a script and not even paying attention to my answers. Most of the questions I asked were met with negative and sarcastic responses. Why does this person even work there when they clearly hate it so much? To make matters worst I was rejected even though my qualifications far exceeded the requirements for the role. No feedback provided which seems to be a theme for this place. All in all I was shocked and saddened by my experience.
