First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Girl Scouts USA.
Recruitment Manager
The interview process was long and thorough, consisting of four rounds in total. Three were conducted virtually, each with a different member of the team to assess various aspects of my experience and fit for the role. The final interview was in person, held over lunch, which provided a more conversational and personal setting to get to know the team’s dynamic and culture better. Overall, the process felt comprehensive and intentional, giving both sides a chance to ensure it was a strong mutual fit.
- Can you describe your experience in hiring new staff and managing employees who are unhappy?
- How would you approach managing disgruntled employees, particularly those who had applied for the role you are now being considered for?
Community Engagement and Belonging Coordinator
Applied and then got an email a few days later to schedule an initial phone screen with HR. We talked about my work history a lot and what I could contribute to the job. She mentioned I'd hear back in about a week about whether I was moving on. Heard back right on time a week later. Too bad I didn't get to move forward, but I appreciate them being upfront and quick about it.
- Can you share your experience in promoting inclusion and belonging at work?
E-Learning Developer
Applied online, and a recruiter got in touch a couple of weeks later. The first interview was with a pleasant interviewer who asked questions directly related to the job, like my approach to building courses and to tell them about myself. It seemed to go well, leading to a second round where I met two other team members. We discussed similar questions from the first interview. At the end, the hiring manager indicated reference checks were next and things looked promising. However, after a week of no response, then another two weeks, I followed up. The hiring manager then told me they had hired someone else. It felt like a waste of my time.
- Can you describe your design process for courses?
- Tell me a little about yourself.
- Can you share an example of a problem you faced and how you solved it?
Human Resources
This was for the DFW location. I have been a girl scout myself and am very grateful to GS for teaching me things and values that I may have not learned elsewhere. When I saw the position, I was excited to apply and even more excited when I got a response back. I enjoyed speaking to everyone. Thought it would be a great fit. Had multiple rounds of interviews and was a long timeline. Got a final interview and thought I did amazing and they even made it seem like everything went well and they would be sending an offer and they would reach out in 2 days. Those 2 days passed and nothing. I followed up a few days after that and nothing. Finally they replied days later with a short message saying I was not chosen for the role. At least they didn't ghost but felt it was unprofessional to just give one short automated sentence saying I was not picked. I guess it's true when they say don't meet your heroes.
