I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at IQVIA (Sofia, Sofia (city)) in Nov 2021
Interview
The Talent Acquisition team were friendly and very considerate of my time and availability. They provided me with information and guidance throughout the interview process, however since I was not chosen for the role, they did not bother to contact me and inform me their decision.
HR round and Hiring manager round -
HR round was simple asking general HR questions.
Hiring manager asked questions on my experience, internships and skill. At last 2 business case studies relatively easy.
Had an interview with a recruiter for a position I was likely overqualified for. A couple of things to beware of:
- Misleading Compensation: The salary range posted online is significantly higher than what is actually being offered. When I spoke to the recruiter, the absolute "hard cap" was actually in the middle of the advertised salary range, even for a "superstar candidate". This lacks transparency and honestly wasted both my time and the recruiters time.
- Unprofessional Advice: The recruiter offered unsolicited advice on how I should communicate my "career desires" to my current employer before looking for new employers. It felt like a major overstep.

Have you told your current manager you are looking for a new type of role?
The interview format is standard and predictable, consisting mainly of familiar competency, behavioural, and experience-oriented questions designed to evaluate your professional background and alignment with the role’s requirements. Standard. process
