      Director Interview

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Achievement First

      Interview

      This is the most extensive (ridiculous) interview process I have ever experienced. I only kept at it as I felt they were truly interested in me. In the end, I feel as though having me complete the process just gave them an opportunity to check a box. The interview consisted of: One hour phone screen 4 hour performance task 3 hour pre-interview performance task 3.5 hour interview

      Director Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate

      Negative experience

      Application

      I interviewed at Achievement First

      Interview

      I understand that no person will move forward in all searches. However, I applied for several roles at AF over time and interviewed each time which means that there must be a fit somewhere. Still, I was unsuccessful in each case. The third time I was interviewed it was actually the company that had reached out to me. However, the recruiter got back to me, after the interview, and said that, because the role was similar to the second to which I applied, the HR “team” would not be moving me forward. I ask that AF therefore better align their HR functions/communication among team members. While I don’t mind speaking with organizations multiple times, it would be nice to know that the conversation isn’t a waste of time before it was even had. Also, in the second interview, we spent a lot of time discussing X but I was told that I would not be moving forward because of Y. I appreciate the feedback which I can use in interviews moving forward, However, had I known I did not discuss Y to full measure at the time of interview, and I did ask about any holes in my interview, I could have discussed this. I therefore ask that AF consider additional ways to solicit information from candidates if it feels that it is not receiving it....perhaps have certain scripted questions it can make sure are answered.
