J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Farmers Insurance Group (King of Prussia, PA) en nov. 2010
Entretien
I applied through a recruiter for the position. I had a behavioral based phone interview, was then sent a IQ/Intelligence Test as well as a Personality Test. Then I had a 1:1 interview with a different recruiter same company, after that I had a panel interview, followed by an interview with the actual manager of the department. I then went back the next day after I had made it through the next round and had another interview with the same manager who would become my direct supervisor.
Farmers takes their time in selecting the right person for the job. They get a bad wrap, but as you see that is mainly from independent agents and CSR's two of the hardest jobs to be happy in. As an employye though, they spend plenty of time making sure you fit their needs and do not waste your time if you do not. Overall, the experience was difficult, but makes sure to know how to answer behavioral based questions with STAR, and know your resume! This is good advice for anyone.
There is a reason why some jobs take an hour to accept an offer and others take 30 days....the quality of the employee, the experience and the difference in salary from $8/hr to $40/hr.

I had a “phone screen” with a recruiter where I was only asked when I would be able to come in, but I wish there was some sort of questioning since I’m not entry level and I have experience I could speak on. I also had no clear idea of what I was coming in for other than an interview with the district operations manager, but was never told about the daily expectations, or what the interview process is like.
Whenever anyone reached out they would also view my LinkedIn profile to give me a double notification which is a bit weird and overbearing.
I had to cancel my in person interview for personal reasons and was told it couldn’t be rescheduled because others were waiting, which is fine. The process seems so fast moving but not informative and going into what seems like the final interview there were no real salary or any other “behind the scenes” things discussed. I wasn’t planning on accepting an offer if it came, but when companies move that fast it’s usually a red flag which is why I wanted to leave this review.

Panel interview by other successful agents in the district as well as with previous recruiting manager. Not difficult at all. They’re more wanting to know your process and game plan you’ve already created going in.

The process was smooth and informed. I felt like they had a solid process that gave me a roadmap for the future. I made it all the way through the process successfully.
