5. What are the next steps after a phone interview with a Corporate Recruiter?
Some of the most commonly-asked questions in Schneider interviews relate to what to expect throughout the interview process.
The phone interview will consist of going through your resume, work experience and a series of behavioral-based interview questions. As you are answering those questions, the recruiter takes notes on your answers, which are then provided to the hiring team.
After the phone interview, we send the notes and your resume onto the hiring team. The hiring team decides after reviewing the notes if they want to proceed to the next step: an in-person interview with the hiring manager and team.
I always stress to candidates to check both their voicemail and email, as we will get back to you either way to let you know if we are or are not moving forward with your application.
