I applied online through their website on 2/7/2022. I heard back that same week from a Recruiter wanting to set up a phone screen, which we had on 2/14/2022. The Recruiter was super nice and he was able to explain the position well to me and told me about their benefits.
I think it was the very next day that I received an email calendar invite to set up a virtual interview with the hiring managers for 2/18/2022. The interview was booked for 30 minutes but we all still had time available so we ended up chatting for an 1hr 30 min! It probably depends what department you're interviewing with and the people you're talking to, but we went over their background, my background, benefits, and they asked me a few questions. Conversation flowed really well and it was an easy and enjoyable interview experience. I absolutely loved our conversation and knew immediately I REALLY wanted the job and to work in that department. They did let me know they had other interviews to still complete and that it may be a week or so until I hear anything (understandable). By 2/28/2022, I was eager and emailed the Recruiter to see if he heard anything and let him know I was still extremely interested in the role. He promptly replied and let me know he was meeting with the managers that week and should get feedback. A few days later, early March, the Recruiter called to let me know I was selected!
Being in HR, I know hiring processes take some time but I was really impressed with Navy Fed's timing and communication. I tried to provide as many specific dates as possible for this review to give other candidates an idea of how quickly things progressed (at least for me). After being told I was selected, they had to do a credit check, which took roughly 3 days. Next my Recruiter provided the actual verbal offer with the pay rate, which I accepted on the spot because I was very pleased. Then I received my offer letter email and instructions for doing background check, onboarding, etc. Finger printing is part of the onboarding process but they explain how to get that done and it's very simple.
From start to finish of interviewing/onboarding, so far everything has been a wonderful experience. This company seems amazing and I CAN NOT wait to get started in April! Hope this review helps others!
