What is the hiring process at The Blackstone Group?

The application provides two options, one to upload a resume and autofill your information, or to manually enter your resume information. Even if you manually enter the information you must still upload a resume. The application also asks you to list related skills and link to relevant sites, such as LinkedIn. Allow up to a month for someone at Blackstone to reach out via email.

The next step is a 30 to 45-minute phone screen with the HR recruiter, followed by the hiring manager, and then sometimes with both the HR recruiter, the hiring manager, and potential team members. In other cases, it's a quick call from HR followed by the manager, vice presidents, and senior vice presidents.

Questions can range from general getting-to-know-you questions to technical job-specific questions. Also, anticipate a lot of behavioral and personality questions. Passing the first round of phone screens can be difficult, so pat yourself on the back if you have made it to the interview round.

The interview process can be daunting with each interview lasting between an hour and a half to two hours. You may be expected to do these interviews back-to-back on the same day. They expect all candidates to have detailed knowledge about Blackstone and the position at hand.

Common The Blackstone Group interview questions:

• Why do you want to work at The Blackstone Group?

• Can you tell me about your background and why you would be a good fit for our company?
