I had a screen interview that covered my background and qualifications. After that, I didn't hear back from anyone and there was no follow-up from the hiring manager.

Had an initial call over the phone, then a Zoom interview with a few people, some social workers and some managers. It felt like it took forever, way too long. But they got back to me pretty quickly with an offer afterwards.

I first did some online questions and then didn't hear back for over a month. I thought I didn't get an interview, so I started interviewing elsewhere. Turns out the recruiter was on vacation and nobody told me. I did go to the in-person interview, but I was already pretty far along with another company by then.

Behavioral

The interview process took about 3 months and was quite strange. The recruiter was unreasonable and unethical, repeatedly pushing me to relocate across the country to the Bay Area before any offer was made, despite knowing I was on the East Coast. Ultimately, I declined their offer because it was significantly lower than market rate and my previous salary. The offer also didn't account for my Master's degree in a different field. They offered me the position based on my Bachelor's degree in a different discipline, so I questioned why my Master's wasn't recognized and reflected in the salary. Upon checking LinkedIn, none of their current social workers seemed to have a relevant social work background.
