The interview process was pretty simple and the team was really nice. It was just one round, a panel interview, which felt more like a chat. They wanted to see if your skills and how you work fit what they need.

I only got through the first phone interview and then got ghosted. I interviewed on a Monday and they said I'd know the status by the end of the week or beginning of next week. Mid next week came around so I sent a follow-up email to see if I could get an update. I waited an extra week and a half but got no reply. I wasn't sure if I'd get another interview but I would've liked at least some confirmation or communication.

I applied for the Director of Annual Giving role via the organization's website and also had an internal referral. The hiring manager reached out and scheduled a phone interview. They've been having trouble finding candidates with the right mix of skills and experience since the summer. The person I spoke with was intelligent, friendly, and well-organized. I'm still in the running for the position.
