I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Hobby Lobby (New York, NY) in Oct 2022
Interview
Contacted by a recruiter. Screening phone call, then they send you the application. Next there is an actual phone interview, then an assessment. If you pass the assessment they request 7 to 10 references. If all of that meets their approval they will schedule a face to face interview and store tour.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Hobby Lobby (Fort Worth, TX) in May 2026
Interview
Phone interview with recruiter. First step. Explains in detail the description of job and requirements as well as next steps and 10 questions. After you are asked for 6 references including 4 direct reports. This can be a bit hard if you are currently employed but dont want to involve your place of work just yet..so be prepared for this.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If ever been let go or terminated from a job.
What is your strongest attribute..
Horrible. Very quick interview scheduled and professional interview but it’s unrealistic to expect 7-10 references that are professional only. Most companies don’t even allow employees to give references so to make that a minimum to move in in today’s world is ridiculous.
The recuiter met me at the door and showed me around the store explaining expectations right off th bat. He then took me to the office and asked me standard interview questions for a leadership position.
