I applied through other source. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Compass in Nov 2018
Interview
Poor interview process, should be re-evaluated. First round was with someone from HR who asked some pretty tough questions out of the gate. Next step was with a peer who was not on the team I was interviewing for; not in the same state for that matter, and had been at the company less than a year. The interviewer awkwardly read scripted questions to me via a script. Overall I feel they are having an identity crisis. They say they are not just a brokerage and want people that come from a SaaS background, but I am not so sure about this.

Pitch compass / Compass Value prop / Describe Compass to your Grandma
Felt similar to another SGM interview I read on Glassdoor. Had one call with recruiter and felt like I was just a number to boost number of people interviewed for the position.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Compass (New York, NY) in Jun 2024
Interview
I was told it was a 4-5 interview process. I completed an introductory interview with the main recruiter for the department. He prepped me for the second interview. I was prepared to speak very specifically about the requirements of the position but unfortunately the head of the department did not ask me anything about my knowledge of the product and steered the conversation away from it when I attempted to display how my experience would fit the position. I wasn’t offered a second interview despite being uniquely qualified.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Compass in Apr 2024
Interview
Recruiter reached out to me several times. On our call she immediately prefaced the call with "Well this wont take long at all" and sounded like she was speed reading through a job description. Then she asked to learn a little about my background. After I shared about my bg, no questions were asked and was told that she will share the information with the hiring people and will get back to me. I don't even think I was able to say Bye as she hung up so quick. I've been in recruiting and staffing for many years and this was the most unprofessional recruiter I've spoken to. She sounded impatient and just trying to get her numbers in. I was honestly so shocked.

Question 1
No questions were asked about me, what I'm looking for, no follow up questions on my experience, background, etc. It was a complete waste of my time, but at least it wasn't a 30 min call because she was right - it didnt take long about a 9 minute phone call.
