Parata Systems: Bewerbungsprozess und Vorstellungsgespräch

I applied, then did a Teams call with 3 Parata employees. HR, Tech Support Lead, and someone else. All very nice and professional. Technical guy asked some sample technical questions, like basic troubleshooting, what commands in command line could do such and such, etc... HR lady asked what do you value out of working, etc... I appreciated the panel interview as normally most jobs are 2-3 rounds of interviews across upwards of 2-3 weeks. Much better to combine everything into one interview instead of waiting weeks to know if you're going to get a job or not. I had an offer the day after the interview. I do worry if something was off by it being such a fast process, but seems like an alright enough company. I unfortunately had to decline as I had a bunch of other interviews I wanted to see through. I'm also west coast and it would have been eastern hours for the first 6 months (day starting at 5 AM for me). Pay was ok, $23, but if I completed A+ cert and a few other certs, it would have been $1 more per cert completed, so $26 fairly fast. Good earning potential, 6 months could have also brought a promotion, and work hours could have been changed to western support hours, making the 5 am start no more. I just wished it wouldn't require 6 months before flexible hours. I do kinda regret declining, but it is what it is.

Around 30 mins, the process was simple they asked question about the company, technical, personality. Very professional but easy going. Informed on what would make a successful employee. It was quick and moderately easy. I had an offer within the a hour.

The interviewer was nice and encouraging through the process. I was told I would meet with the team for a second interview and was ghosted via a canceled Teams invite (they went ahead with a different candidate), but that’s pretty standard these days. They were very nice when I thanked them for the opportunity.

The interview was great, no issues with the individuals everything was smooth and seamless. Couldn't ask for a better interview. Remember to ask any questions about the position to get a clear picture of what you will be doing.

Screened with employment agency over phone twice then face to face with district and regional manager. Some canned questions about yourself then asked to perform some computer tasks as they monitored.

Got interview through an agency took 2 weeks to get face to face interview. When to the interview with district manager and supervisor they spoke about their products and what they do. Then they started to ask me a question about my job history. They ask me what I do in the field at my current job and I told them. They ask me technically and customer service questions answer everything they ask me. Then I ask them a lot of question regarding the job and they answer them. They had me doing and IT troubleshooting on their computer which I pass. Then after almost 2 hours left the hotel Lobby. When I got home I received a call from them they wanted to hire me. They gave me a decent offer but I decline. Due to the fact they couldn't accommodate a day I requested. Throughout that, I was able to discover it was not the company I wanted to work or spent my time with. Other than it was a pleasant interview and I wish them much luck finding their right candidate.

I lieu of sending a resume, I was asked to answer 4 questions. This lead to an HR screening via phone. I was then invited to the office for a team-based interview. This approach was geared toward finding the right cultural fit and to more accurately capture potential.

Went through several rounds of interviews with Human Resources, the hiring manager and then the team. Process was thorough and I was able to get my questions answered. The interview process prepared me for the job at hand.

One week after applying, I received a phone call from an outside screening company. They gave general information about the job and asked if I knew how to use hand tools and other diagnostic tools. A few days later I received a phone call from HR. They gave more specific job details and emailed me a map of the geography I would be covering and general health insurance information and costs. I was given the starting salary. I was able to negotiate a higher pay if an offer was extended. I was asked about my job experience and what I could bring to the table. A few days later HR called me back wanting an in person interview. I met the hiring manager a week later at a local hotel lobby. He asked the typical job interview questions. It was fairly informal. It lasted a little over an hour. Three days later I was offered the position.

The interview I did went smoothly. The recruiters asked me few technical questions. I was couple years ago but not as tedious as they do today. I think one over the phone, two others face to face. I had to wait for background check and other verification to clear up. But it did not take too long overall.
