Indeed interview questions

These people must think (or wish) they were Google, because they asked a lot of brainteaser questions, and not much about your actual experiences and what you could bring to the job. The 1:1's were an hour each, which was too long- left too much time in the end for questions and general awkwardness. Overall, I found each person I met to be inexperienced interviewers (canned questions, no real conversations), and the experience to be subpar at best.

Connected over LinkedIn. I was messaged by the recruiter to see if I was looking for a role in sales. I replied yes. We arranged a time to chat over the phone. Phone chat: typical questions about who you are and what you're looking for why you're interested in working there. I was asked to explain my CV and from explaining my previous roles and how I could be successful here. I was told that my results are not believable, how could I possibly do that and move on from a contract position. To my surprise! I was then invited onsite for a cup of tea( even more surprised when that happened!) I arrived excited about seeing the business and the culture. Maybe they do see the value I can bring to the business. From the moment I walked in to Indeed Everyone was really nice and it seemed like a awesome place to work. Great vibe in the office. But I got my hopes up to quick. From my conversation or cup of tea with the recruiter. They went over the same problem as the phone call and once again said that they found hard to believe that a was successful in my role and moved on once my contract had finished. At this point I had explained my story or journey 3 times in great detail. The recruiter informed me that she had shown my CV to other recruitment agents in the business and laughed about my CV that it couldn't possibly be true. So I was basically called a liar. By the recruiter I offered for them to call my reference right now to prove I wasn't but they had already made there mind up. I was told I was a great person and I'm quite charming and confident but I wasn't a great fit for the company maybe in 2 years I might be or I may never even consider applying again to Indeed. But, it really boiled down to one thing. Over the last 18 months I have had a few jobs which were contract and others where I left on my own accord because of either 1. It wasn't the right fit for me and 2. I've had issues outside of work relating to family. I fully accept that when a recruiter is looking at my CV it will be deemed a high risk case. I hold my hands up and I accept that. But, I also know I'm a genuine person who puts it out the truth. I was told that I was a high risk and there was no chance of me getting a job in the business and if I was to go to a interview with a hiring manager that I and the recruiter would be ripped to shreds. So my question was! What was the point? To say this is a big waste of my time and has made me feel like a total fool is putting it lightly. I would not recommend this place. I felt this could have been sorted or even explained over the phone and not have me come in and think it's something it's not and be made a total fool of. I left feeling like a fool and this has really knocked my confidence. I hope this helps other people to be aware of what you're getting yourself into.
