I found the recruiting coordinator position listed on Glassdoor and received an email from the recruiter within two days of applying, we then scheduled a phone screen for that same week. The phone screen was about 30 minutes, typical questions about my resume/background experience and skills. I was then invited for an on-site interview with two members of the recruiting team the following week. The on-site interview was much more in depth in covering what the role involves, as well as Zillow’s company structure, culture, etc. Both recruiters were very transparent as to what the challenges of the role are and made sure that I understood what the role entails—this was very important to me. I received a follow up call at the end of the week to schedule the third round of interviews, on site again; this time would consist of two back to back interviews. The first interview was with the hiring manager, second of which being a video conference with the senior manager. Both interviews could have gone longer but we had a hard stop at the 30 minutes. Because of this, I was not able to ask some of the questions I had prepared, but followed up with both people via email and was very impressed that they actually took the time and effort to answer all of my questions [thoroughly!] I would have liked for the process to have been quicker, but the entire recruiting team had been travelling in and out of the office during the month of June which caused for some delays. It helped that the recruiters consistently updated me on the next steps and timeline for when I would hear back—I even received an update email from the hiring manager on a Saturday which made me feel like they truly cared about my experience and wanted me to know they hadn’t forgotten about me! I would rate the process between average and difficult. Each interview was very comfortable and informal, however going through 3 rounds of interviews with four different people (including a manager and senior manager) makes the process feel highly competitive. My advice: do your research beforehand, come prepared with questions, and get straight to the point for each question they ask you in order to maximize your time with the interviewer!

Initial screening took place via Teams, then if you are selected to move forward there is a second interview which consists of back-to-back interviews (30 min.) with 3-4 other team members. Largely behavioral and situational questions.
