Shortly after having submitted my application online, I was contacted by the recruiter to set up an initial telephone interview, scheduled for a few days later. During the friendly telephone conversation, we ran through my background, and several behavioral questions were asked. Near the end of the discussion, the recruiter confirmed that Houzz was interested in getting to know more about me and a date for a personal interview with the recruiter was agreed. During the one on one interview with the recruiter, we went deeper into the topics from the phone conversation - and further behavioral questions were asked. Even though the interview was professional and to the point, I did at no time feel interrogated. Instead, I felt that the recruiter was genuinely interested in getting to know me as a person. It was a thoroughly pleasant experience. Before I left the office, I was shown around in the very modern and nicely designed office. The next day, I received an invitation to the second interview, which took place a week later. First, I met with a member of the Talent Aquisition Team and after that with Head of Sales. Both interviews were friendly, respectful and very pleasant. Again, I felt a genuine interest in me as a person and my background and skills. Already the next morning, I received a phone call from the recruiter, who asked me about my experience from the interviews - and I was offered a job, which I of course accepted. The entire process was professional and competent, and I experienced only openness and helpfulness from all Houzz staff members. It is the best experience in connection with job interviews that I have ever had.
