Dragonfly2,
I am supposed to start soon (don't have written offer yet), but here is how it went for me. Also, I am coming in as a "New Manager".
1. Recruiter screen - 15 to 20 minutes - to make sure your compesation expectation line up with theirs. From here, you may have to haggle the recruiter every couple of weeks to see what is happening, unless they say you are not a fit in plain english.
2. Technical Phone interview with somebody - in my case it was a senior manager. This interview lasts 45 minutes to 1 hour.
3. PFI Interview - this interview lasts 45 minutes. The objective is to see how you respond to "work related stressful situations". They may ask you "Describe a situation where you had more to do than time permits, how did you react, what was going on in your mind". They may ask you "Describe when you had to confront with your boss." They may ask you "Describe when you were ask to do something beyond your capabilities". etc. I would NOT worry too much about this interview.
4. Face to Face interview - In my case it was with a Sr. Mgr and than Sr. Executive. - 45 minutes each.
Than I was done. I was given a verbal offer, we haggled a little and I finally accepted.
I hope this is helpful to you and others. |

did you negotiate the salary face-face or did you go with what you said in the recruiter screen?
How was the face to face interviews??
And how did they decide starting you as a manager?
Thx.
