Indeed interview questions

Initially I received an email to schedule a writing exercise that was composed of 4 questions and I had 1 hour to complete. These were the four questions: Question 1 – Answer in English We recently launched Indeed Tanzania and want to reach out to influential bloggers. Please write a brief email to one of these bloggers (no more than two paragraphs) introducing Indeed and summarizing our product and highlighting Indeed’s key strengths. Question 2 – Translate into (different language) Please translate the “Guidelines for Inclusion on Indeed” found below into xxxxx. Only include paid, current jobs directly posted to your job board by authorized company representatives. Include complete data for the job including company name, location, job title and complete job description. Job seekers should be able to view the entire job description without requiring a login and there should be no charge to apply to jobs. Respect job seekers' privacy and confidential information. Sites that offer free posting, or sites that "crawl" or redistribute jobs from other sites will not be included. Your site should include a clear contact page with a physical address, must not employ excessive or fraudulent advertising, and must demonstrate an appropriate level of organic traffic relative to job count. Indeed reserves the right to remove from its index any site that fails to adhere to these guidelines or results in excessive user complaints or spam. Question 3 – Answer in English How is Indeed different from a job board e.g. Monster, CareerBuilder? Question 4 – Answer in xxxxx Write a brief follow up email to xxxx around why you feel you are suited to this position at Indeed. Three days later I received an email to schedule a phone interview. The interview lasted almost 45min and she asked me several questions about ways to improve the products offered by indeed or new areas that I could think they could invest. These were some of the questions they asked me: Why did you apply to work for Indeed? Tell about your professional experience? Are you willing to relocate? Salary expectations What were you doing during this period ? were you unemployed? Interview went great she was very nice and supportive during the interview but never received any contact from HR again, not even an email saying they decided to go with a different candidate.This is extremely frustrating, not knowing. Even a simple rejection form letter will do. We put so much time and effort on those interviews for nothing. Honestly a company that functions with no regards with their candidates might do the same with their employees keep your eyes open!

It is a rigorous hiring process. I submitted my resume and cover letter, and a few days later, I got an email from an internal recruiter at Indeed from the office to which I applied. The email was to set up a phone interview with the internal recruiter. Phone interview went well, and we set up in person interviews with the head of recruitment, and three sales directors for the following week. The internal recruiter provides you with the names of the individuals you are going to interview with so make sure that you study and memorize their Linkedin profiles so you can ask questions. In person interview went well. After two days, the head of recruitment gave me a phone call to let me know that I made it to the next stage. You are given a week at most to prepare a presentation where you have to role play an in person sales scenario where you have to sell Indeed to a company. The head of recruitment provided me with the details of the scenario and also gave me some slides. You don't have to put together your own slides but it does look good if you contribute some data that is going to help you close the sale. Presentation was in front of 4 people in my case. I presented to 3 sales directors and the senior director of sales. Make sure you qualify them when role playing the scenario and close your sale based on their pain points with the service or services that they are currently using. Afterwards, I had to interview with the senior director of sales. Overall its a three week process. And they say that the presentation is the last step but I found out that there was going to be a reference check afterwards.
