The first round was a screening call with a talent recruiter. It was scheduled for 30 minutes but started a few minutes late and ended about 6 minutes early. The recruiter followed a pre-written list of questions, mainly focused on experience with onboarding, project management, AI/prompting, and light technical tools like Excel or SQL. The tone of the conversation felt rushed, and while the recruiter took notes, there wasn’t much opportunity for a real dialogue. I was told my profile would be passed along to the hiring manager for review and that next steps would depend on whether it seemed like a fit. No specific timeline was provided for follow-up. Interview Tips: Prepare specific examples of onboarding, training, and AI-related work. Keep your answers concise — the recruiter likely has limited context and is just filtering candidates based on a checklist. Don’t expect much detail about the role or the company in this stage — save deeper questions for the next round if you’re advanced. Overall Impression: The company itself seems innovative and growing fast, and the role sounds exciting if you're passionate about AI-driven onboarding and client success. The screening experience, however, felt transactional. Hopefully future steps in the process offer a clearer picture of the culture and team dynamics.
