Reynolds and Reynolds interview questions

After submitting my application, I was contacted by email and phone within the same day for a brief screening. This included whether or not I smoked and if I would consent to background and drug tests. I was then emailed two links for online assesments and scheduled an onsite test. One was a personality test and the other was a mixture of history, vocabulary, and math skills. The onsite test was timed, thus stressful. I completed the first two sections within the time restraints and felt confident in every answer. The third section was mathematics and rediculously difficult. I skipped around and answered as many problems as I could. There were several other candidates in the testing center at the same time. I was not the first one done, nor was I the last. When each person exited the testing room, they were told that by the employee that they should wait while he confirms submission of their results. Everyone was call up but me and each was told that the results had been submitted and someone would contact them within 2 weeks. After I was the only one left, a gentleman came and took me for an interview. This was a very basic interview- five questions at most. After, he told me someone would be in contact with me within 2 weeks. While sitting in the waiting area, I overheard two men around the corner state that they were going into one of the offices to prepare for potential candidates. I assume given the circumstances, that a second interview would have taken place immediately if they were still interested after the first interview.

The application submission was done through a job board. An internal recruiter contacted me about the position. As with most employers today, they were interested in what my salary requirements were. I got the impression that cost of the candidate is more important than quality. I passed the initial tests that are taken online at home. The tests took about 2 hours. I was then contacted so that I could come in to take another test and possibly an interview. When I arrived at the testing facility, there were several other people waiting to take tests. Most were recent college graduates that were in the waiting area. The training center is a very nice facility. Our group was then asked to sit at computers in a small room and take tests. After the tests were over, a front desk employee asked everyone to leave exept for me. Then I met briefly with an HR employee. She seemed to be a recent college graduate as well. Again, it seemed that salary range was what the person was interested in. There was not much discussion regarding the position or my relevant experience or skills. About a week later, I received a form email that said that I was not going to receive an offer. I found the recruitment and interview process to be very impersonal and dehumanizing but this may be what is now considered normal in today's business climate. I do not think I would have accepted an offer since my first impressions of the company was not positive.
