Behavioral Technical
We started with an initial screening with HR, then the first interview was with the hiring manager. After that, there was a technical test that the hiring manager reviewed. The second interview involved the hiring manager and senior management. Then there was a reference check that included an Antiterrorism Check, which HR handled and took about 3-7 days. Finally, they made a job offer with compensation details.

It was a pretty simple phone interview. It went fast, only about 20 minutes. They asked typical situation questions. The person interviewing me didn't really ask a lot about my past work or personal life. The questions were kind of unclear.

Behavioral Other
I applied to a supervisory role at my local IRC office and got an email from someone in a different state about an interview. We set a time, but they called a day earlier than planned. On the scheduled day, they started by stating the pay rate and asking if it was acceptable. When I declined due to the low pay for a supervisor role with a caseload, they offered a small increase, mentioning it's a nonprofit. I declined again, explaining it was a significant pay cut from my current role. The interview ended there. The process felt disorganized, and it was odd that someone from another state was interviewing for a role focused on local community outreach. Transparency about pay on job descriptions would save time.
