      Event Production Manager & Event Producer Interview

      10 May 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Web Summit

      Interview

      The entire process was drawn out and a bit of a waste of time in the end. The recruiter took ages to respond between interviews and asked if I'd be interested in another position. The second interview was essentially the same as the first, just with another person. I got the feeling these individuals did not quite understand what they were looking for and needed for the position. Relevant and extensive experience seemed to be low priority focusing on non-industry related questions. I asked what their goals were and what their expectations were of the new hire, but was given no answer. Between interviews and rejection, it took quite some time to get responses having to constantly remind and follow up on details. From reviews and this experience, I agree that there seems to be an air of unprofessionalism, lack of skill/experience and lack of direction within the company. I've seen jobs reposted a lot which is odd and curious if they're actually hiring, or attempting to raise awareness in some strange way. At any rate, I'm sure they've chosen the proper candidate for their company.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Do you have any questions? (very first words at the start of the interview) Tell me a little about your background. Can you run through your resume? How do you work under pressure? What's your background managing teams? Greatest strength and weakness?

      0 ▼ Many thanks for your feedback. I am sorry that you have had this experience. As you can imagine, as a growing company hiring is our highest priority as well as building an interview process that gives us and the candidate as informed a decision as possible. It would seem on this occasion we missed the mark from your perspective but I would love the opportunity to discuss this further with you to both understand your experience in further detail as well as give what insight I can into your process. My email is ronan.mooney@ websummit.com Many thanks again for your honesty, I hope we get an opportunity to speak. Ronan
