Cardiovascular Research Foundation Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process was really smooth. First, I had a phone call with HR for some basic questions. Then, a video interview with HR where they asked about my background and experience. After that, I met with the team, who explained the day-to-day work and asked why I'd be a good fit. The final round was with the Director of CRF, who asked me about my interest in CRF, what caught my eye, and how I'd move from my current job to CRF. I got a verbal offer then and was told HR would contact me about the start date and package. HR got in touch a week later, and I sent them the info needed to start onboarding. It's been 4 months, and despite emailing CRF multiple times, I haven't heard back. It feels like a waste of my time if they didn't want to hire me.

Had an initial HR screening that was about 15-20min. Then, about 10 days later, I interviewed with two hiring managers. They asked me to fill out a paper application with my info and references, which I had to submit one day before the interview with the hiring managers. On the same day as that interview, I had another HR meeting to go over the paper application. Two days after that, I interviewed with the executive director. Two days after the executive director interview, the HR director gave me a verbal offer. All the meetings were 30 minutes long and very direct, feeling more like a conversation to ensure it was a good fit for everyone and that my skills matched the role.

I applied on the company's website. About two months later, I got a call. They said they liked my resume and invited me for a face-to-face meeting with HR, the Project Director, and the Assistant Director. When I got there, I had to fill out an application. After that, the Director of the research project interviewed me, and it seemed to go well. Then, I met the Assistant Director, who explained a typical day and my expected duties. Finally, I met with an HR person who discussed health benefits and the retirement package. They said I'd hear back soon about a start date, but I never did.

I had a first phone chat with HR, and then on the day we chose, there were 3 interviews back-to-back. First up was HR again, they went over the hiring steps and what the benefits are like. Next, I spoke with the Director of Safety and Operations. Finally, I had my last interview with some of the safety team members.
