I applied online. The process took 12 months. I interviewed at Chubb (Londres, Inglaterra) in Jan 2018
Interview
I experienced discrimination at the highest level. Let me tell you about how I applied for over 40 roles at Chubb London and didn’t get called back for 1 interview. I have over 4 years experience of being an underwriter and over 10 years experience in the insurance industry. I’m a 31 year old female with a BAME background with all the relevant experience yet I wasn’t good enough for even one interview. It makes you question why. I personally know of 3 other people that applied for the same jobs as I did and not only did they get the interview, but they got the jobs too. After 3 times seeing this happen I tried to look at this scenario from a different angle and the things that these 3 people had in common were: they were all younger than me, less experienced than me, all male and most importantly, all British. Now maybe that’s just one helluva coincidence. So I decided to write to one of their HR Business Partners, I asked him why less experienced candidates were being afforded job opportunities and he couldn’t answer the question so he blocked me on LinkedIn. I will be answering pre-interview questions below since I’ve not made it through for even one interview
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Chubb (Los Angeles, CA)
Interview
Recruiter reached out to me regarding a potential position. I wasn’t looking at the time, but the position was a bit different and interested me. I had 3 additional interviews with the hiring manager, VP, and regional HR contact all on the phone. Went well but ultimately didn’t get the job. But I received great feedback and was told they would keep my information for any other positions that were to open up. Was eventually offered to apply for another job shortly after that felt my background was better suited. Went through the same routine with the exception of the HR contact but was virtual this time. Waited and waited to hear back from the recruiter. Both times, I had to reach out multiple times to the recruiter who contacted me. The second time, after nearly a month and 2 follow ups via email and once via VM to the recruiter, he told me that they went with someone internally. The only part that frustrated me about this entire process, and why I would never speak with anyone from this company about another potential opportunity, is because of the recruiter. His lack of response with getting any sort of follow up was concerning. I have never had such a terrible interaction with getting an indication of what was happening from someone that had reached out to me with a potential opportunity.
