The interview experience at LinkedIn was unforgettable! As a candidate, they gave me a red-carpet experience. Each individual who interacted/interviewed me, made me feel special, showed utter care, and were very responsive of all my queries during the process!
The way recruiters (spoke to around 4) presented LinkedIn made my choice absolutely strong towards LinkedIn! At each interaction they lived up LinkedIn's core values. The recruiters made each step in the interview process very transparent, provided information that helped me prepare well for each phase which eventually utilized my limited time with each interviewer well.
Each interviewer was well versed on the role I was being interviewed for. They were warm and welcoming. Their questions were very specific and to the point that open up discussion topics to help align our expectations (as candidate and employer). These were the steps that set LinkedIn apart from other companies and their interview processes (I was at that time interviewing with Gap, ThoughtWorks, First Republic Bank, Practice Fusion). It made me, as a candidate, believe the company lives up to its own culture and value. It made me feel comfortable to move forward with my decision to join LinkedIn because if the way you treated me, as a candidate, with such attention and care, as an employee, it will be the same if not more. From the welcome note, to Thank you card, interviewers LI profile handy in iPad, to the goodie bag that was handed during the interview, to the follow up calls, and last but not the least to the welcome gift basket, the entire interview panel if put in simple words: LinkedIn has nailed the recruiting process!
The whole experience is what makes LinkedIn THE LEADER when it comes to recruiting and that was my take as a candidate!
