I saw and applied for the job posting on a website; I was contacted by email first to set up a phone interview. The phone interview process was fairly simple and not overall stressful. The interviewer was not as well informed as they should have been. For example: they stumbled on when I asked more specifically what the Associate Recruiters in the past had done in order to truly succeed in the role? They pushed me through to a 1 on 1 interview at the ManPower Group location in Milwaukee. Although I appreciated the honesty and transparency, I was not flattered nor was I kept interested in the position throughout the interview process. The gentleman who interviewed me had only been at the Milwaukee branch for a few months and was quite frank about the cut-throat environment of the Associate Recruiter position. The nature of the job did not match what the company had posted on the job description: I was able to shadow an Associate Recruiter for a bit after my 1 on 1 interview; each day the recruiters are given a stack of papers with which they must research the candidates for certain clients' positions and cold call constantly.

First a phone interview was completed. I submitted a second application and then attended a final in person interview. I spoke with two different people, the general manager and also the floor manager.

It wasn't much of an interview. Essentially I came in and talked to one of the managers. I then shadowed a recruiter for about 10 minutes. I was asked if I had any questions, and then I was offered the job. I wouldn't really even call it an interview as he did not ask about my past experiences.
