      Recruiter Interview

      26 Sept 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      New York, NY
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Block (New York, NY) in Aug 2017

      Interview

      Applied via referral from a current employee and was promptly contacted by a recruiter to set up a call. My phone interview was extremely underwhelming – the recruiter sounded like he was under the influence, was not sure what he was interviewing for, or had an understanding on what he should be asking. His presumptuous attitude on my background throughout the interview made me feel very uncomfortable – would not work for a person like this ever.

      Hi, Thank you for taking the time to write about your experience interviewing for the Recruiter role at Square. We were extremely disappointed to read about your interview process — definitely not cool, and we're really sorry. We'll discuss your feedback with the team immediately. Last year, we implemented a candidate experience survey and we are using those results and Glassdoor feedback to continuously improve our candidate experience. Again, we're very sorry about the interview experience and that you didn’t get an accurate depiction of the life at Square. At Square, we are always striving to provide the best candidate experience possible and your post will help us improve the process. Thank you for sharing and helping us continually improve the interview experience. Best, The Square Talent Team

      Dublin, Dublin

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Block (Dublin, Dublin) in Feb 2022

      Interview

      Very messy Dealing with a Recruiter in the US that would only tell me interview confirmation times in her time zone. They were unable to tell me how many interviews would be in the process. I had 3 but was told it could be approx 6. Was never given feedback from the final interview had to check their online portal to find out not selected. Very poor candidate experience makes me believe they don't live by the values they preach about during the process. May have dodged a bullet.

      I applied online. I interviewed at Block in Feb 2021

      Interview

      This was the worst interview experience I have ever had. As a recruiter myself I have an understanding of the process and get how busy and hectic things can be however the way they treated me was inexcusable. For starters the recruiter was 7 minutes late to our call and unapologetic about it. She was incredibly low energy and apathetic with no excitement about Square. I could tell she was reading from a script and not even paying attention to my answers. Most of the questions I asked were met with negative and sarcastic responses. Why does this person even work there when they clearly hate it so much? To make matters worst I was rejected even though my qualifications far exceeded the requirements for the role. No feedback provided which seems to be a theme for this place. All in all I was shocked and saddened by my experience.

      Interview

      The process was very well thought out and structured. The company did a great job of making me feel valued and it was a welcoming process. They move very quickly and offer negotiation was a pleasure. Answered all of my questions thoroughly. Skye did an amazing job of painting a clear picture of the team and was very open during the interview. There weren't any questions designed to stump you and every interviewer made me feel comfortable even though I get nervous in interviews.
