I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Echo Global Logistics (Chicago, IL) in Aug 2014
Interview
First comes the phone interview, which I believe is the most important interview as it will determine whether you get invited to come to the office for an official interview. First you are asked questions of why you are interested in the position, what is your competitive background and what makes you stand out, basic questions for a phone interview. Once you explain your history and what makes you stand out the interviewer will decide weather or not to invite you back.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why are you the best candidate (more when they asked then the question itself, caught me a little off guard).
Great interview with good questions. Everything was related to the job and all of the questions were very timely and easy to answer. Overall was a good experience and would recommend to others
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Echo Global Logistics (Dallas, TX) in June 2025
Interview
Originally outsourced to an incompetent “HR”agent that was a waste of time. In-person interview conducted, feels like they’re almost trying to sell you a product themselves. Very vague on commission structure. Strongly get the impression that there’s a high turnover rate and they just simply turn and burn through employees like temps. They threw out whatever it was they thought I wanted to hear, but it was all empty words. Certainly WOULD NOT recommend.

Question 1
Are you motivated by money? It wasn’t an interview at a charity.
The interview was going great and everything felt smooth until the recruiter asked me about having a degree. I mentioned it wasn’t listed as a requirement in the job description, but they still said it’s something they need. Honestly, it didn’t feel great—especially since I’ve only been in the U.S. for a couple of years and I’ve already built solid experience in sales. It kinda seemed like they only move forward if you have a degree, even though it wasn’t made clear upfront.
