I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Cook Medical Inc (Bloomington, IN)
Interview
I went through a 3rd party recruitment agency. They got me a first round phone interview with cook and then I was moved on to the final in person interview. They brought in several people for the final round, and also had a few internal candidates. I was told about a week after my interview they went with an internal candidate, yet they proceeded to re-post the job on their website. So they basically lied about hiring an internal candidate. I got the vibe that they didn't really know what they are looking for and/or didn't really want to hire anyone.
This felt like a complete waste of time. They also sent me forms for mileage reimbursement and said they would reimburse me for mileage expenses, I sent the form in and followed up a couple times and no response or reimbursement. This place just seems messy and left a bad taste in my mouth for Cook.
First round was with a member of the HR team via phone, then met hiring manager, then met with a couple members of the team, then panel interview with multiple stakeholders
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Managerial questions, leadership questions, people skills
Overall the HR person was not enthusiastic and seemed to be reading from a script. The recruiter ghosted me even after I tried following up. Poor experience, wouldn't recommend if they can't even respond to an email.

Question 1
Basic behavioral questions (tell we a time when xyz.)
