I applied online. I interviewed at Gartner in Aug 2025
Interview
Multiple phases via their Talent Team which included, behavioural / traits questions. You need to answer using the STAR method.
(The Talent Team coach you from the get go and provide plenty of guidance/rubriks etc. There is no guess work involved)
There are a number of stages which include role-play, I participated in one round of role-play, then the role I was IVing for was filled / closed during the process.
Further colour here in Australia; they have an awesome Talent Team. Highly engaged, personable, open and transperant and the coaching through the process is excellent.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you describe a time when you had to show considerable persistence and resiliency?
They have reached out to me for a job every year and I have interviewed with them 2 times and have never made it past the 1st interview. Confused why a recruiter reaches out to me anymore?
It was long and rigorous, often feeling extremely high pressure, with not a lot of constructive criticism. There are 5 rounds and each with a role-play. It's safe to say this is not an easy interview process. I'm not sure how they do their prospecting, but I was apparently a 'great fit' for the role - didn't show that enthusiasm during our calls.
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.
