      Human Resources Generalist Interview

      Jan 24, 2018
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Orange, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Optima Tax Relief (Orange, CA) in Jan 2018

      Interview

      Recruiting Manager emailed to schedule a phone interview. The second question was regarding my salary target. When I asked for their budgeted range, the RM told me it’s a new headcount and they’re open. I provided a target range and she immediately said that’s above our range. *confused* I thought you just said it’s a new position and you’re open to consideration. Second, the new law change made disclosing salary range a requirement, so now you’re just non compliant. This all happened in the first 5 minutes of our conversation. I proceeded to inquire about the role itself going off the responsibilities listed on the JD, only to find out it’s a completely different role within HR. Why wouldn’t you update your advertisement if the role shifted? The 8 minute conversation was entirely a waste of time. Such a huge disappointment, especially after reading such raving reviews on GlassDoor. As a passionate HR Professional, this experience as a candidate was beyond awful.

      Thank you so much for providing this information. We apologize for your interview experience and appreciate your honest feedback. While we are compliant with new law regarding discussing a salary range, this position is extremely fluid and is so instrumental to the organization that we are able to keep the range open. We would need a candidate to be flexible to not only commit to the responsibilities in the job description but to also be able to undertake tasks throughout the day that are often times outside of the normal day-to-day assignments. We appreciate your time and interest and hope you’ll consider future opportunities with us!
