Home Forums Introduction Welcome to Elevator Trader Interview ranking

They usually hire the H2H guys first. They do it a few times a year. You will get pushed back because of it.

Has anyone from the November interviews been picked up yet? If so what was your ranking. Might give us all a better understanding as to where we stand.

Took me a minute to figure out what H2H was; sad considering i am one. It may be different local to local because of contracts and what not but as for Local 140(Phoenix) what i have gathered is its mostly just a way to apply; and if they run through the whole list and need more before the next cycle they will call people up off H2H.

Excited to share that I got my call today at 4:00pm for local 18 L.A. I interviewed in November and was ranked 230a. I hope this info let’s one of you know that your next. Best of luck everyone.

Right on...congrats

Congrats, Anyone know why the LA list seems to keep going backwards in numbers being called? I know #260 was called a few weeks ago and it seems like lower ranking numbers keep getting called.You would think they passed and called these numbers already.

That’s because when they hold new interviews it is possible for applicants to score better than previous applicants. In that case they rank you with a lower number. Then they back track to lower numbers before moving down the list again.

Right on, good luck.

David, with that logic is this supposed to mean you scored at 230 even though the list may have been at 300 already? And that they choose you and then pick up where the list left off? That’s no way to quantify applicants.

That's exactly what they do. The interviews they do throughout the year are for Helmets to Hardhats, aka veterans. If they rank higher than what the list is currently at they get hired first. If lower they get hired before the open applicant with the same rank hence the A in there ranking. It's to help Veterans start a career outside of the military. They only have open recruiting every few years or longer but, they interview H2H guys multiple times per year.

I seriously hope you are not upset with Veterans getting jobs after they put there lives on the line in war.....

I am a veteran but thanks

That's awesome, thank you!
Did you not go through H2H?

Yea, actually I went through h2h and had my interview June 1st. I found it strange that number 230 got hired today and I’m 323a even with my 1.5 years of experience at SpaceX. So no, I’m not fresh out of TAPS lol I thought he might’ve been trolling us just because of the vast differentiation in our rankings and the fact that 260 got hired in October. I was confused

Same here got on through H2H, Interviewed December 2017, The only advantage I see H2H does for us veterans is allow us to test/interview before open enrollment? I ranked 330(LA List) ... 5 years as a mechanic in the Navy, 2 years underwater welding and working in aerospace now. Buffalo, makes me curious how they choose someone's ranking too! Must be some extremely qualified guys out there! Congrats to everyone though. Our time will come.

I’m sorry you felt that way. My intentions were only to give a better feel for what number they were on. Best of luck.

As far as I know veterans don't have to take the aptitude test, just the tool test and the interview. And I thought they get an automatic 5 point bonus.
Might be different from local to local though I guess...

Tammy, I am a veteran and had to take the aptitude test.

Maybe there isn't a universal rule then. My husband is a veteran and he went through the regular process, including the aptitude test. He said he found out afterwards that he wouldn't have had to take it.

Any updates on PHX?

Called yesterday and they said they were still on 14
