After applying for a General Manager position with Uber online, I was contacted by a senior recruiter via email to set up a phone interview. During the phone interview, the recruiter asked far more interesting and purposeful questions than you generally encounter in an initial phone screen. Many of the questions were focused on my interest in Uber as well as how my background would specifically make me a great fit for the company and the position. What I really appreciated, especially in retrospect later on, was that the recruiter described the entire process in great detail, step by step if I ended up moving forward during that very first encounter. The hiring process at Uber is a lengthy one, involving many exercises/interviews along the way, and the recruiter's upfront disclosure went a long way in building trust right from the start. After completing and passing a timed analytical exercise, I went through a series of creative exercises/interviews that lasted several weeks. The recruiter was in touch throughout the entire process to ensure that things were going well and to see if I had any questions or concerns. The best thing about this process is that if one is able/willing to complete it, they can feel assured that they are truly passionate about the job and company, and on the company side, Uber can be confident that the applicant can get the job done and will be a strong fit. Bottom line, it was the most difficult but also most rewarding/enjoyable hiring process I've ever been through, and it's a testament to the dedication and diligence of the lead recruiter as well as the organization itself.
