I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Blackbaud (Austin, TX) in June 2017
Interview
Applied for the position internally after finding the posting on our intranet site. Met with the hiring manager and had lunch to discuss the role and if I would be a good fit. Then did a phone interview with another member of the team. At that point an offer was sent.

Question 1
What challenges have you faced in previous projects and how did you overcome them.
The interview process was very thorough but efficient. I was able submit an initial video to allow the hr team to ensure that I met qualifications prior to scheduling time with team members. I was able to meet with 5 different team members who I would be collaborating with during 3 different sessions. During each session I was given ample time to both share my experience as well as request details related to both the position and company so that both sides could determine alignment. Communication around expectations and timeline of any next steps were clear throughout. I appreciated the thought and planning of the entire process.

Interview
1. Online application
2. (About 3 and a half weeks later) Generic email requesting a recorded video interview. They were using HireVue at the time.
3. HireVue interview.
4. (About a week later) Generic email saying that they were moving forward with other candidates
The overall process was cold and not personal at all. Although the generic emails were signed with the recruiters name, I could tell by the wording that it was system generated.
