Boundaries of a PE interview process
Hey guys,
In one of my PE interview processes I've been asked to do a psychometric test (standard), but after the test I was asked to schedule a long conversation with a psychologist to discuss the outcomes of the test. As it turned out - during that conversation I was asked to essentially go through all my background from the very beginning, and I was asked things like date of birth, questions about whereabouts and occupation of my siblings, cousins and parents, details of my childhood. I was also asked about weaknesses, things I am afraid of, etc etc. It frankly felt like a therapy session, but a therapist is a person who has a duty to maintain confidentiality, whereas here it has been shared with my potential employer as a part of a selection process!
Is this a normal / common selection round? Because to me it felt excessively intrusive - frankly I don't know whether even my closest friends know so much private info about me.
This is extremely unusual and invasive...
This seems fairly inappropriate of a PE firm to ask of you
Funny that once I was asked about my age, I naturally was quite surprised, and the interviewer tried to justify the question mentioning that the time when we are born has impact on our psychological profile
Sounds illegal to me?
You don’t want to work for a shop that has a process like that
Hahahaha this was ADIA wasn't it? They have the weirdest process
No, it wasn't - but could you please share a bit what the process looked like? I'm super curious now!
I echo what the above poster said; that is highly inappropriate and borderline (if not entirely) illegal.
Next season of Black Mirror is going to be great.
