I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Greystar in July 2014
Interview
Saw ad on Craigslist, applied on website. Received a call from Community Manager 2 weeks later. 15 minute phone interview that went well. Face to face interview the following week. Standard interview questions and it went well. I received a call the next day to schedule interview with Regional Manager. Regional was unable to be in town so we had a phone/skype interview. They were both very friendly and cooperative with scheduling. I recieved a verbal offer the same day as the final phone interview. The offer letter did not arrive for 2 days, however it was understandable being the company is so large and has different departments to handle everything. The background check process is very thorough and caused anxiety at points due to previous employers not returning the call of the background check representative of a 3rd party company.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why should we hire you over the other qualified candidates?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Greystar (Hayward, CA) in Apr 2026
Interview
I have applied for multiple Assistant Property Manager positions with this company over the past three years. Each time, the process has followed a very similar pattern. I interview with the on-site manager and those conversations typically go very well, leading to the next step with a regional manager.
During these later-stage interviews, I have often been given the impression that I am moving forward in the hiring process or being strongly considered. However, shortly afterward, I receive an automated email stating that I am no longer being considered for the position.
While I understand that hiring decisions can be competitive and complex, the repeated lack of clear communication or feedback after reaching advanced stages of the interview process has been discouraging and frustrating.
Great two stage interview process with different management areas which allowed understanding of all areas which helped give an idea of things to come. The interview was relatively straight forward.
In common parlance, the word "interview" refers to a one-on-one conversation between an interviewer and an interviewee. The interviewer asks questions to which the interviewee responds, usually providing information. That information may be used or provided to other audiences immediately or later.
