Bay Area Phlebotomy and Laboratory Services interview questions

There were a total of 4 rounds of interviews post the recruiter screen, which included a call with a couple of team members, a call with a potential peer, a call with the hiring manager, and a presentation. The overall process took about 3-4 weeks.

I originally applied for a manager position, was interviewed by the CEO who was wonderful to speak to and seemed to have such a valuable outlook on what he wants for the company. He figured I was not ready for a manager position but that I would be a great executive assistant. I logged onto my third interview with some people from the team, no one showed up because they were having issues with their program, I called the HR team and found out that one of the employees was unable to meet and the HR rep graciously hopped on instead. No problem. I had a fantastic conversation with both of the folks I spoke with and thought they would be great people to work with! After interviewing for what became an EA position, I suppose the HR rep liked me enough to want me onboard as an HR Generalist- perfect next step in my career! After receiving a verbal offer from the recruiter and negotiating my salary like your average candidate, I was hit with the fact that my offer was essentially revoked due to the fact that I may leave the company for a better offer in the near future. I have never been more shocked and appalled by the unprofessionalism after receiving an offer my entire life. To jump for joy at receiving an offer during a rough time in the market then to have them take it back due to a very normal negotiation was extremely upsetting. To the HR/hiring team reading this, I highly recommend that you are 1. VERY clear about salary expectations from the get-go 2. VERY clear about what roles are open and what you are looking for 3. VERY clear that you are stern about salary, etc and keep your candidates in the loop and interested in the onboarding process with you. Should they decide to come back to me with a respectful offer in the near future I may agree to accept but the interview process honestly left such a bad taste in my mouth and worries me about what the culture of the company is really like on the inside.
