Interview
As long as you understand influencer marketing and the industry the task is quite straightforward. Interviewers were nice but interviews felt very short and didn't get to know the person who would be managing me
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Socially Powerful in Mar 2026
Interview
Recruited on Linkedin for a Senior Account Manager role and had an initial call with the recruiter Leanne which went well. Was then asked to complete a multi-tab Excel task including a full campaign timeline, influencer reporting analysis with XLOOKUP/SUMIFS/COUNTIFS formulas, segmentation tables, a chart, and a 500-word written analysis — all unpaid and completed within a few days. Was also asked to sign a confidentiality agreement before receiving the brief. After submitting, received a rejection email citing specific formula errors, some of which I went back and verified were either caused by ambiguous data in the brief itself or were factually incorrect callouts. The reach and engagement figures they flagged as wrong were actually calculated correctly based on the raw data provided.
Be aware this is a pattern, multiple other Glassdoor reviews describe the exact same experience of completing a detailed task and being rejected regardless of quality. Do your research before investing significant unpaid time into this process
3 rounds and a task, first met with HR and then the team followed by a task to present. The task however felt very time consuming and way too long for the role. It took me about 2 days to complete the full task process which is difficult when having a full time job as wel.
