Ok be honest, candidates. I really love this set of questions, I’ve been considering shifting my current interview style to these questions - I think they really give you an idea of who this person would be within the work setting. But the questions almost feel too deep for a recruiter to ask. What would you think if a recruiter took a different path and asked these questions instead of the usual ones?

Guys , whoever is interviewing and planning to join , do ask project availablity on priority basis before you take decision. On Java front looks like there is some project issue due to recent slowdown in market. My offer was not revised even after agreement with recruiter because of this.

It’s a good time for you to ask questions and see if you want to work with the company
My very first interview out of college was a panel of six people and I wasn’t warned about it.
There is a high probability that the Team is serious about you. Learn to take positive
That many interviews whether in-person or virtual sounds wildly excessive. However the days of having 1-2 interviews seem long gone too. I’ll have a screening, an assessment, then begin talking to who knows how many people next. It is a process and I am getting tired of it.

Yes
Are you applying for a CEO role? I would do a no-show for rudeness.
I worked at Wells Fargo and they had me make a PowerPoint presentation which was put on for 5-6 section managers. I requested feedback from some of them and one of them said it was all about how the PowerPoint was presented and another one said they didn’t care about it. Needless to say they were all just on Power trips. Wells interviews with a panel of 5-6 is very intimidating. Another time I had an interview with Wells and was hired then they froze the role.
Yes
Sometimes we include 6 people on panels hoping 3 will make it.
Excessive, but I had the same set up virtually for a client service role.
Yes it is excessive. 2 is fine, 6 is definitely a crowd and overkill. Also long interview process is also a waste of time for both parties.
Sounds like there’s very trust at this organization.
“6 interviewers that is in person” sounds like an anthem
It all depends on what your goals really are. Are you an organization that assumes employees will make their mark and likely leave about 3-4 years after joining? Or are you hoping to find someone that could be a longer term fit (10+ years)? If it's the later, than 6 interviewers in-person is essential. But if not, keep it short and sweet.
This was common at the last place I worked for positions that would be working directly with multiple departments and teams.
If for Senior level, 5-6 interviews is okay. For entry to mid level, I think it is too much. My husband applied for a VP role and got 5 interviews: HR, P, 2 VP peers and direct report.
It's only excessive if you don't get offered the job. LOL
Isn’t it just well experienced interviewee 🤨?;)
Uhm...rather that than like 4 different interviews spread over 5 months. School interviews are normally a panel of 8 people.
I just did 6 virtual. They were 1:1 and 45 minutes each. I learned a lot about the company and the role. These were mainly peer and stakeholder meetings so I got a good idea of who I would be working with and if i wanted to wish with them. I think it was excessive but I knew I was their horse in the race and it helped me make an informed decision.
Yes, I would say so, but then I might suggest that it could depend on the nature of the job role you interviewing for. I personally have only had two interviewers max. Two when interviewing for the RAF, and Two when interviewing for a private sector company!
That’s alot. But definitely enough at the round table to get your questions answered. Having the opinion and view of several people is always beneficial. Feel out personalities and find out which of them you’ll be working most closely with if hired. I like panel interviews but I don’t. Pros and Cons I think.
At a high job level, no. I also think Wells requires a certain number of diverse team members on their interview panels above a certain job grade. This could expand size of panel.
I worked there (fairly senior level) and had interview with hiring manager (of course), 3 of her peers in panel fashion, and then two-up manager. So 5 in total.
If more entry level position I would agree this seems excessive.
