66degrees Technical Recruiter Interview Questions and Answers

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - I never bothered to waste time and write reviews but here I go:

In my entire recruitment career, I never faced dull interviewers like these ones who kept on asking each other if they had any questions for me. 5 mins in and I knew they have referral probably that's why they look so uninterested. I am sure they didn't even go through my resume and it was not even opened during the interview, making them know nothing about me.

They didn't have questions prepared for me, didn't ask me anything specific about recruitment cycle or technical knowledge about IT roles.

The Onshore recruiter from USA was super helpful who scheduled my interview with Bengaluru team real quick.

Bengaluru team was looking for someone who deals with End to End recruitment, at least that's what job description says. When I was asked about my professional experience, I summarized my end to end experience and they gave me feedback saying they want 100% hands-on recruiter and I am not. So if I am not doing hands-on work then it makes me a manger? Which I am not!!! I think they don't want to hear about end to end recruitment but just Sourcing part! So may be they should change job description to "Sourcing Analyst".

In other interviews for Recruitment role, I have been asked to make search strings from at least 2 job descriptions, i have been asked at least 25-30 technical questions determining my technical knowledge about roles. Here was asked basically nothing. They didn't have direct questions for me from the beginning, were desperate to cut short the interview by constantly telling each other I don't have anything ask further. At least be professional interviewer and open the resume at least to ask something from there. But no!!!

If they were this much concerned about Sourcing part only, how come they didn't ask me single question about Sourcing? How many candidates I get in touch with on a regular basis, what are my KPIs for Sourcing, if I were able to achive any target for 2024. No Sir No questions.

Next time rather giving this kind of feedback, make sure you guys are actually ready to interview candidates. I am sure Non-IT interviews might not be exciting for you guys but at least be honest with your process rather lowering candidates' morale by being so uninterested in the interview.

Thanks!
