Beware! You will get bait and switched. First they will change the position from permanent to contract after telling you they are scouting to fill a permanent position. Interview was fine. You will probably get low balled, and they might backflip and offer 50% more when you walk. Still, you won't be able to see important details of contract until late in negotiations. You want to read the contract language carefully. You will probably find a steep monetary clawback trap clause or similar language vaguely buried in fine print for not completing duration of contract, for any unspecified reasons. If you were brave enough to waste your time and you got the trap contract, they won't drop the clawback language. I suggest you string them along, drag out the process, verbally accept but never sign the contract, waste their time, and treat them like they treat their contractors.

Question 1
We can't drop the clawback language, so will you accept if the rate is doubled?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Aerotek (Maple Grove, MN) in Dec 2022
Interview
Interviewed in Maple Grove, MN. The internal recruiter was awesome. The director there was very rude and argumentative trying to force me to give a wrong answer. You go through 2 phone interviews, 2 zoom/teams interviews, then a job shadow and in person interview. First 4 interviews went great with the internal recruiter preparing you for your local interviews. When I went into the job shadow the manager I communicated with for 2 interviews and set up the shadow with wasn’t even in office. The employees I shadowed were somewhat disorganized not knowing where to send me next. The shadow ended abruptly and they didn’t contact me for several weeks. The internal recruiter reached out to them after a week and got no answer. After me emailing a couple times, I finally got a response saying they went with someone else. The long interview process, bad communication, hostile director, and the lack of organization left me with a sour taste for Aerotek. For their low pay, capped bonus, and no commissions, it not worth the 5-6 interviews you have to do. Seems like they drag several people through the whole process to only choose one. Waste of time.

Question 1
what are the top 3 positions you see yourself in 5-10 years from now? Why isn’t a recruiter #1? Why would you want to work here with a 25 minute commute? Why do you think this is a good fit when you have no recruiting experience?
Pretty straight forward. Took about 2 weeks to be hired. There was about 2 phone interviews and 1 in person interview for the job. I had to do another interview with the company who was going to hire me.
