Real, anonymous reports from people who interviewed for Consultant at ServiceNow, newest first and distilled into what to expect across the loop.
After a recruiter screening, I moved straight into a quick hiring manager call and then two peer interviews back-to-back, with the overall feel being very personable and get-to-know-you. Each conversation was mostly about my background and experience, why I wanted the role, and what I understood the position to involve, plus some basic experience-based questions. By the time I finished the last peer call, both of my peer interviewers had spoken positively and essentially pointed me toward the next stage.
My process followed a pretty clean, structured sequence. I first had an orienting call with a recruiter where we talked through my expectations and background. After that, I moved into a follow-up conversation with my future manager focused on the content of the role.
