I applied online. I interviewed at LGI Homes (Scottsdale, AZ) in May 2026
Interview
I applied for the Field Marketing Coordinator position and initially had a positive experience with the interview process. After a phone screening, I was asked to submit a portfolio showcasing my event planning experience. Following that, I was invited to an in-person interview in Scottsdale, which required significant travel time. The interview went very well, and I was asked to provide three professional references, which were contacted.
I was then invited to a second interview with a VP, which also went extremely well. After that, I was asked to participate in their “commitment” interview process. I dedicated approximately five hours on a Saturday commuting between locations in Laveen and Casa Grande to meet with the team, learn more about the role, discuss expectations, compensation, and a potential start date.
Throughout the process, I was given positive feedback and was told I would be a great fit for the position. I was informed that I was one of two final candidates, which I completely understood and respected.
After the holiday weekend, I followed up to thank the team for their time and express that I was still very interested in the opportunity. After multiple follow-ups, I never received a response and was ultimately ghosted.
I completely understand that another candidate may have been selected, and that is part of the hiring process. However, after multiple interviews, reference checks, a portfolio submission, and a significant time commitment from a candidate, I believe it is important to provide an update or closure. A simple communication letting me know the position was filled would have been appreciated.
The interview team was friendly and the role itself seemed like a great opportunity, but the lack of communication at the end of such an extensive process was disappointing and felt unprofessional.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
“What types of marketing events or resident/community activations would you recommend to help people connect with a new development?”

Smooth, multiple rounds. Very transparent and flexible. Towards the end expect more culture and personality based content. The recruitment team was very communicative and gets back to you in a swift manner
Thank you for your thoughtful review. We believe the interview process should be a two-way conversation that gives candidates a clear understanding of both the role and our culture. We appreciate your feedback and are excited to welcome you to the LGI Homes team. Best of luck as you begin your journey with us!
Had 20min screener, just asked about my background.
Went to corporate headquarters for in person interview. First 30 minutes were a warm introduction to the company, and what they do. If you really want to stand out to this company, you will really have to research your questions and bring a notebook to take notes. Then a 30 min personality assessment. To be honest, this part was slightly uncomfortable. They ask questions like ‘do you find yourself to be controlling’ and stuff like that. Then there was an in depth review of my experience.
