I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Collabera
Interview
I was found and contacted by a recruiter through LinkedIn and then moved to a phone conversation with them. After and introduction and summary of the job description. The recruiter then set me up with two more phone interviews with the manager from both their Atlanta and Orlando offices. After speaking with both managers on the phone, I noticed it was pretty much a repeat conversation I had with the recruiter a couple days before. The company seemed ver professional and was growing rapidly. It seemed like they were just trying to hire a lot of new employees fast. I was also working with another company where I was offered a position. My process with Collabera, thus, stopped.
I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Collabera (Atlanta, GA) in Feb 2016
Interview
Met hiring managers at a University career fair. One of them called me a few days later and asked if I wanted to go to an in-person interview at one of their office locations. Drove to the location about a week later and the interview was 40 minutes long and it went well. Was told I should contact my hiring manager to discuss next steps, so I reached out to him and he said he was working on getting me a second in-person interview. A week later I had not heard anything so I contacted him and he again said he was working on it. Never heard anything so did not contact again the company after that. Extremely unprofessional experience overall and would not recommend.

Question 1
What qualities make you a good candidate; tell me about a time you made a mistake and how you learned from it
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Collabera (Charlotte, NC) in Jan 2016
Interview
I was contacted by email from Collabera to interview if interested in the position opening up in my area. I got the details and went to interview with the person in charge of that client. When I arrived I met with a different person than I was supposed to. The overall interview went really well and I thought for sure that I would get a call that week to move forward with the job. No such luck. They completely dropped the ball. I emailed my 5 references as requested the day of the interview, never got any kind of response back. I called the next day to follow up and couldn't get anyone I need to speak to on the phone. A week went by and I continued to follow up even though I never heard back from either person. Finally after 3 weeks of nothing I speak with the initial contact person who tells me that "the job and position I was interviewed for is on hold until further notice." So, I think that if they had known that why didn't someone follow up with those who interviewed for the position?? That's horrible Job Recruiter ethics! I have never had such difficulty just checking on status of a job I was interested in through ANY of the local recruiter offices, such as Manpower or Friday's Staffing.
