I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Meta (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2018
Interview
Recruiter reached out directly from FB, did a quick pre-screen and decided to present resume. They chose to bring me in for one in-person that was broken down into 3 blocks. I never write bad reviews but have to on this one. All 3 blocks we're messed up on timing. Each person who was supposed to conduct their portion was uninterested and late. The recruiter prepped me for the majority of the decision making process was based on a presentation I created for one block. It ended up being a virtual interview w/ someone who couldn't see the white-board because the webcam was stationary and wouldn't rotate. Supposed to be a 45 minute presentation and only had 15 minutes to do it on a whiteboard they couldn't see. Ended up just chatting. Horrible experience.

Question 1
If you we're to first start sourcing for a java developer here in Chicago, what's your method and how would you find someone if you knew noone/had no network here?
2 stages - one with screen other at full loop before they make a decision to go to offer . Overall ok process but takes time to prep and go through it all
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Meta (Londres, Inglaterra)
Interview
The selection process for a recruiter role at Meta is structured, fast-paced, and focused on both technical recruiting skills and cultural alignment. It typically includes:
1. **Initial Phone Screen:** Conducted by a Meta recruiter, this call covers your background, motivation, and alignment with Meta’s mission and values.
2. **Recruiting Skills Interview(s):** These interviews assess your experience with sourcing strategies, pipeline management, stakeholder communication, and recruiting metrics. Expect scenario-based and behavioral questions (e.g., “Tell me about a time you filled a hard-to-close role”).
3. **Virtual Onsite / Loop Interviews:** You’ll meet with multiple interviewers across different functions. Sessions may include role-playing (e.g., a mock intake call with a hiring manager) or exercises to evaluate how you manage priorities and build recruiting strategies.
4. **Culture & Collaboration Focus:** Meta places strong emphasis on values like "Be Bold", "Focus on Impact", and "Move Fast". You’ll be assessed on your adaptability, communication style, and ability to partner cross-functionally.
