The process consisted of several rounds:
1. An initial 45-minute video screen with the recruiter
2. A 45-minute video interview with the hiring manager
3. Two (45-minute each) peer interviews
4. 30-minute video interview with an executive team member
5. A take home assignment to complete + a 45-minute presentation on such.
The recruiter shared that the team ultimately chose a candidate whose background more closely aligned with the role. While selecting the right candidate is crucial, a more thorough assessment of background earlier in the process could have provided greater efficiency and clarity for all involved.
