I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Meta (Menlo Park, CA) in Nov 2017
Interview
Completed phone interview flew to California. Was set up with flight and hotel. Met with recruiting team on a Saturday. Although it was an okay interview and candidate experience. I would expect more from a 100 billion dollar company. They didn’t rent me a vehicle, told me to keep my receipts, and they would reimburse me. Yet I still haven’t received any reimbursements for my expenses and it’s been over a month. So Overall an okay experience but was treated more professionally with less reputable companies who were interested in my qualifications. I would recommend they
re-evaluate there candidate experiences. Also I wouldn’t recommend wasting your time if you didn’t graduate from an Ivy League school.
2 stages - one with screen other at full loop before they make a decision to go to offer . Overall ok process but takes time to prep and go through it all
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta (London, England)
Interview
The selection process for a recruiter role at Meta is structured, fast-paced, and focused on both technical recruiting skills and cultural alignment. It typically includes:
1. **Initial Phone Screen:** Conducted by a Meta recruiter, this call covers your background, motivation, and alignment with Meta’s mission and values.
2. **Recruiting Skills Interview(s):** These interviews assess your experience with sourcing strategies, pipeline management, stakeholder communication, and recruiting metrics. Expect scenario-based and behavioral questions (e.g., “Tell me about a time you filled a hard-to-close role”).
3. **Virtual Onsite / Loop Interviews:** You’ll meet with multiple interviewers across different functions. Sessions may include role-playing (e.g., a mock intake call with a hiring manager) or exercises to evaluate how you manage priorities and build recruiting strategies.
4. **Culture & Collaboration Focus:** Meta places strong emphasis on values like "Be Bold", "Focus on Impact", and "Move Fast". You’ll be assessed on your adaptability, communication style, and ability to partner cross-functionally.
