I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Gartner (Toronto, ON) in Feb 2017
Interview
Entire process was a few weeks and was 4 steps, initial phone screen with recruiter, phone screen with hiring manager, skype interview with hiring manager and vp and then a mock sales presentation to panel consisting of recruiter, hiring manager and vp, which was in Greenwich Connecticut. The process was pretty efficient but I give this a negative review due to the following, once final interviews were completed they took over 2 weeks to make a final decision saying they had multiple candidates they liked and were exploring ways to hire more than one when it was pretty clear that a multi-hire decision would never work. Additionally the job posting called for 6-10 years experience and I ultimately lost out to someone with close to 20 years, which I would have been ok with had they not told me early in the process that they specifically did not want someone with too much experience as they had someone like that not work out in the role previously. Also, one piece of negative feedback I got in my panel interview was directly due to advice I took from the recruiter.
Intensive - multiple rounds led by a recruiter. Expect 2 rounds of role play, around 4 rounds total. 2 with a recruiter, one with a lead skills expert and another panel with VPs and hiring managers.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Gartner in May 2026
Interview
30 minute phone call with recruiter. Next is 1 hour with recruiter about your background, behavioral questions. Then 1 hour with LSA with questions on your background and a role play.
HR is very accommodating and helpful through the whole process. It can be a little confusing how they structure and and label their position but easily cleared up when talking in first rounds. They are professional and get back quickly. Overall a very positive experience.
