The recruiters and interview types

The rules of an interview type and the character of a recruiter are two separate layers: you choose the exercise, then who runs it.

The realistic ones

For a first run: they let you finish and follow up on what’s missing, with no needless pressure.

To test yourself before the real thing: numbers, contradictions, a fast pace.

Each type has its own plan, rules of conduct and scoring rubric, based on documented research.

Targeted interview
The heart of NELO. The recruiter starts from the job ad and your CV: uncovered requirements, career changes, numbers to defend. Ideal a few days before a real interview.
Run by default by Karim HaddadLength: 5, 10 or 15 min
HR screen
What you get asked on the first call: background, motivation, availability, salary expectations. Short, clear answers.
Run by default by Amara DialloLength: 5 or 10 min
Behavioral
Real situations: a conflict, a failure, a decision. The recruiter expects a situation, your own action and a result.
Run by default by Diego AlvarezLength: 10 or 15 min
Technical
Your reasoning on subjects from your field. The approach, trade-offs and clarity count more than the right answer.
Run by default by Mei LinLength: 10 or 15 min
Under pressure
Tight follow-ups, objections, silences. To learn to keep your thread when the conversation tightens, without ever being attacked.
Run by default by Marc DelaneLength: 10 or 15 min
Introduce yourself
Two minutes for the opening question. A dedicated report measures length, structure and your closing line. Free once.
