I had a video screening call with two HR Officers at Creatives. It was a good screening interview. They asked questions about my background, availability, management skills, and report writing.

The talent acquisition team was very professional and high-quality. They made sure the process and next steps at each stage were very clear. It was a collaborative environment, with multiple interview panels that included the hiring team and reps from other teams. The conversations were great, though I did get a bit tired towards the end of each panel. I did accept another offer, but I would have been happy to continue pursuing this role if it had been my first choice.

I applied online and after two weeks, I had a phone call with a recruiter which went well. The recruiter later emailed me to schedule an interview for the next week on Wednesday. I responded right away, but didn't hear back for the rest of the week. I followed up on Monday and saw the recruiter was out of office for a week. After following up again the following Monday, I never received a response. This whole experience with Creative was frustrating and rude.

  • Can you describe how you would manage moving from a field role to working at HQ?
