I first met their recruiters at a job fair which was focused on very entry level positions such as debt collectors, Mary Kay sellers, BBB, etc. After speaking with both about my sales experience, I provided a resume and went on my way. I received a call from the recruiter less than two hours later. I was then put in touch with the other recruiter for an onsite screening to go over additional questions. From there, I had to go back online and resubmit all of my resume information through a Topgrading career history form. I break the paragraph because I think it is important that all understand Topgrading. It is an automated tool that the company uses to do the hiring for them. I found it to be an insulting waste of time. Look at their website and see for yourself. Also, I would find this highly insulting as a hiring manager as it would undermine any sort of decision autonomy they have. I have never seen this tool before and I hope I never do again. Following the online form, I was brought in for a panel interview with two individuals who basically read questions from the Topgrading Interview Guide. Seriously go check their website out. I am well out of college and they were more interested in knowing how my high school life was than my sales experience. Should you make it past all of this, you must then set up calls for them with your references. After that I assume you go through the standard background checks and whatever else is necessary. I for one did not get to set up the calls. When I contacted the recruiter a week later to check on the status, I was lied to and told that he sent an e-mail announcing they went elsewhere. We had corresponded multiple times through e-mail and I never did receive this e-mail. All in all, I understand that I am coming across as bitter about not being hired. That actually could not be further from the truth. It was my investigation into Topgrading that really led my evaluation. Let me leave you with one last bit of information about Topgrading. This is pulled directly from their website and I find highly insulting: Add one powerful sentence to your discussions with every potential candidate for employment with your organization. It’s called the Threat of Reference Check, or TORC Technique. It’s a powerful “truth serum” that has been used for more than three decades to motivate all candidates to tell the whole truth in application forms and interviews. It’s incredibly simple and here’s how it works: At every step in the hiring process, remind candidates that before receiving a job offer from your organization, a final step is for them (the candidate) to arrange reference calls with former bosses and others that you select. Seriously, reference checks should be assumed and I find it insulting that they position this as a "threat." The Delta Companies needs to stop wasting candidates time and grow some brains to make their own decisions.

Long and terrible. Emotional damaging and abusive. They make you go through your whole life story and trauma and will question you on the way your remember things. I would never recommend them.
