Interview
The hiring practice seemed to be taken out of an old HR 'how to hire' textbook from 1960. Interviewer seemed distracted or disinterested in the dialogue process and more interested in checking each box that a series of questions had been asked and answered.
The interview process involved a first short call with a human resource representative followed by two formal interviews with a panel of relevant staff members. I do not know if further interviews would have taken place if I had continued with the recruitment process (I eventually moved on from the process due to another offer). I thought the interview process was clear and the questions asked all made sense. There was also openness from CBOC in responding to the questions I raised. I would say that the multiple interviews can become taxing, clarity on the reasons for these steps would be a good thing to implement in the future.
