I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CFS (Shelton, CT) in July 2022
Interview
Interview process was a total of three rounds. After the second interview over zoom, I was told I was being processed through and quickly. On the third round with the district area manager, I was explained next steps to as if they were happening and soon. This included going into the branch that I had applied for to meet the staff. I then get an email several days later, saying I was not chosen. There was no explanation, nor reason it felt very vague and quite strange to be honest especially after I was led to believe that we were in the final steps. After being told, I was was exactly the employee they were looking for then ghosted. Truly thought I aced the interviews, all very typical easy questions. There was a connection, easy flow. I sent a follow up email, thanking both interviewers and asking if they could provide some feedback and still nothing. For a company that prides itself on treating their employees well and their glassdoor reviews you would think that they would follow through and treat potential employees who take time out of their busy lives to interview three times with the same respect.

I interviewed at CFS (Houston, TX)
Interview
I spoke with their internal recruiter first for a pre-screen phone call. It was about a 15 minute long call. By the end of the call she said I'd hear from her again to set up a Teams meeting with the Manager overseeing the position. Had a 30-45 minute call with her, then once the interview was over she had asked what my availability was for an on-site interview. I was interviewed by two managers who were former ER's at CFS, they were warm and welcoming while also maintaining a high-level of professionalism. Overall very swift and pleasant experience.

Question 1
Can you give an example of when you had a conflict with a client or candidate and how did you resolve this issue?
Typical interview with corporate recruiter. Tell me about your experience, why would you want to work here, etc. What did strike me as odd was the recruiter seemed generally uninterested in the conversation as a whole.
It’s clear they are looking for pretty entry level recruiters they can mold to their processes and that’s okay, a lot of staffing agencies prefer this, but give the interviewee the respect in telling them that outright so no one’s time is wasted. The base salary is also pretty low in comparison to other entry level recruiting positions you could find.
I followed up the recruiter after receiving the rejection email to ask for feedback as to the rejection. No response.
