IQVIA Contract Analyst interview questions

On 8/2/2022, I was contacted via LinkedIn by a Sr. Source TA regarding this role. He asked for a copy of my resume, etc. It took me a week to get this over to him due to being on vacation. During that time I had a chance to look over the job he sent. I was qualified due to my 4+ years in Contracts so I scheduled a call on his calendar to take place on 8/12. The interview went great. Very informational. There was a question around my salary expectations but I advised it was negotiable as I was unsure if it was hourly or salary at the time of interest. At the end of the interview, he expressed how much he liked my experience and background. Felt like I would be a great addition to team. I was advised to look out for an email which would consist of an excel assessment to make sure my skills aligned. Two weeks went by and I still hadn’t received anything or heard from him. I sent an email on 8/25 to follow up. No response. I thought to myself there’s no way someone who sought ME out personally on LinkedIn has already ghosted me. By 8/29, I still had not received a response to my email so I sent a message through LinkedIn. His response, “I connected with the hiring team and they decided to move forward with some other candidates for now that have some more CRO experience.” So you had my resume, interviewed me, and didn't know prior to contacting me that they wanted someone with Clinical Research experience? Nowhere on my resume or through conversation did i express I ever worked in Clinical Research. Make it make sense. Please stop wasting people time and using them for your numbers game. This left a bad impression and I will not be interviewing with this company ever again. The fact that he couldn’t reach out to me himself and provide that update said enough for me.

Lengthy and rigorous. However, certainly rewarding in the end once feedback was received as to what they were impressed with and which areas I could develop and work on in the future.
