Please describe the interview / hiring process.
Applied via their website. You click "Contact", then "E-mail HR". The VP of HR over there contacted me regarding the Business Development Analyst position. She had to reschedule our phone call 2x but we were able to talk on the 3rd attempt. It was a basic screening process - what do you do, why looking to leave, what are you looking for, and gave me basic description of position. It was a fairly new position and they were looking at other candidates as well so she said they would get back in touch with me. I followed up with her a few days later to confirm my interest and she set up 3 interviews - each back to back to back (about 30 minutes/interview). I don't want to list out names but the 2nd interviewer I had was unpleasant - the rest were fine. After my interview, the group apparently wanted me to meet with a 4th team member who was out of the office when I came in for the interview. When asked about the culture, it was a "eat what you kill" culture. Very incentivized. It was a new role so the interviewers were just trying to see "whose on the market". Platinum Equity sources their own deals and due to the market recovery, they wanted to add to their BD division. No real tough questions, 99% of it was behavioral. Make sure you know why you want to work at Platinum Equity
