I applied online. I interviewed at CoStar Group in Feb 2026
Interview
Super simple + quick interview process. Two rounds of interviews. The first is an online interview where they ask the basic questions e.g., introduce yourself, eligibility to work. The second is an in-person interview where again they ask the basic questions e.g., how do you deal with challenges at work, when is the last time you.... and how did you solve it. Job offer was almost immediately given around 1-2 hours after the interview, and then you just wait for around a month until employment starts. Documents don't get sent to you until around 1-2 weeks before employment though, so be prepared to sit in fear for a few weeks uncertain if you've actually made it. HR does respond to emails pretty quickly though, so reach out freely if you have any questions/ concerns.

I applied online. I interviewed at CoStar Group (Sunnyvale, CA) in Mar 2026
Interview
Talk with recruiter about the company, values, roles, and some of the things that they didn't like about the company. It was an insightful opportunity to learn about the company.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at CoStar Group in May 2026
Interview
Recruiter reached out. Video interview, followed by an in-person interview with the hiring manager where I was asked to conduct a presentation on something I’ve sold previously. That was followed by a quick video interview with a director. Received an offer, which I accepted... I was then told the offer was rescinded a week or so later due to something being flagged related to employment verification on the background check. I asked the recruiter for clarification and she refused to provide citing HIPAA laws as preventing her from being more specific (HIPAA refers to medical privacy, not sure how that applied). I then retrieved my background report, pointed out the flag appeared to refer to my employer’s payroll company as being mistaken as my current employer. In response, I was informed my offer being rescinded had nothing to do with the employment verification or background check at all and was simply a business decision the company made.
