I went through a series of interviews with people from different departments and locations. Before each interview, I got practical info about what would be covered and who would be interviewing. The whole process was laid out clearly from the start, and I got quick feedback after each interview. The HR team was super helpful and responsive. The interviews felt pretty informal and conversational, focusing on the specific role and the company's overall goals. I had chances to talk about my experience, interests, and career goals, and also learned a lot about Blacklane's culture, mission, and values. The interviewers were great – prepared, engaged, and asked a lot of questions to understand my experience, why I wanted to join Blacklane, and my strengths.

So there were three interviews basically. The first one was with HR just to see if I'd fit in the company culture, you know. Then I spoke with the global communications manager, and we talked about my past work experience. The last interview was with two leads here at the company, and we went over my previous experience and what I know about the role.

The recruiter was unprepared and hadn't reviewed my resume, asking for specific examples for every bullet point in the job description, which suggests they're looking for a unicorn. They also used marketing jargon like NPS scores, which not all PR pros are familiar with.
