Behavioral Technical
After initial screening, we have a few rounds of interviews. We want to know what makes them stand out and why they would be a good fit for us. For example, were they good communicators, respectful, knowledgeable about our field, and passionate about what we do? We also need to understand where they could improve or why they weren't the right fit. This could be due to lacking specific experience, like if they claimed to lead a large team but only had experience with a small one, or if they seemed to be missing key skills required for the role.

It was a pleasure talking with the creative directors, they were very welcoming and open. We discussed how the agency works with a few questions about my portfolio and approach to work. They also asked about my willingness to relocate as remote work is not an option.
