      Payroll Specialist Interview

      25 Jan 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Waterloo, ON
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at OpenText (Waterloo, ON) in Dec 2016

      Interview

      Pre-screening to in-person interview only took a couple of days. However, it took over 5 weeks for them to get back to me, which by then I had figured out they weren't interested in hiring me as they re-posted the position a few weeks BEFORE they got back to me. Pre-screen was a standard series of resume type questions, plus they seemed concerned whether or not I was interviewing for other positions, which seemed odd given this came up in pre-screening. Fairly standard 2 manager in-person interview.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      Answer question

      Question 2

      Was I interviewing with other companies? (this question came up in pre-screen as well)

      Thank you for taking the time to provide your detailed feedback. I appreciate it. I am also pleased to learn that the time between pre-screen and face to face interview was quick as we strive for a positive candidate experience! It is very important to understand where our strengths and gaps are in our recruitment process. It is clear that the time in which it took for us to follow up was long. I agree; waiting 5 weeks is simply not acceptable. I am following up with the individuals involved to understand why it took so long to provide feedback, regardless of the outcome. There may have been a very good reason for the delay, but that should have been communicated and quickly. Again, thank your for your honest feedback. I appreciate it.
