Interviewing for a Director role in industry. The next step is a “scripted conversation” that will be recorded and then sent to their external recruiting firm for assessment. Anyone have any experience with this? Wondering what to expect and how to best prepare. I guess if it’s based on character or judgement skills then there’s only so much you can do to prepare though

Huh? What is this? I've never heard anything like this before.

Also how do you go from SA to a director role? What industry is this?

Yeah, me neither. Recruiter explained that they work with an outside firm to conduct assessments for director and above roles. Hence I’m wondering if anyone has seen this before.

I have 8-10 years of experience and an M7 MBA. I was senior manager level pre consulting so director level makes sense for my profile.

I don’t think it’s fraud detection, I was made aware of this from both the recruiter and during my interview with the hiring manager (who said he also went through it). It’s a new practice they said they have implemented for Director and above roles. I’m guessing it helps assess innate leadership or judgement qualities that can’t be bullshited from packaged interview answers. But I have no idea, I’m just guessing.

1) there were obvious favorites (coaches are not even hiding that fact);
2) some can’t even play and got on the team,
3) some that can obviously play but did not get on the team;
4) decision were obviously made before the first day was over.

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated.

Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?
