Rocket Clicks Interview Questions
& Process

This interview process was disorganized from the start and reflected how the company operates. The first step was an assessment before any real conversation. These are easily gamed and provide little value, yet candidates are expected to complete them without context about the role. That was followed by a scripted 30-minute screener with an offshore recruiter, with no real dialogue or discussion of fit. During this call, I was asked about compensation from previous roles, which is inappropriate and illegal in many states. For an agency that works with attorneys, this was especially concerning. A second assessment was then introduced at the last minute with minimal turnaround time, followed by a rushed leadership interview that consisted largely of a 30-minute presentation on “why you want us and why we should want you,” rather than a two-way discussion about scope, expectations, or success criteria. Despite advertising a W-2 role, the offer came through as a contractor position with vague language about potentially converting later, confirming the lack of clarity already evident throughout the process. I continued intentionally, knowing the process was flawed, simply to see how it would play out. Nothing about the outcome was surprising. Skip this one unless you are absolutely desperate.

Rocket Clicks, a digital marketing agency focused on PPC and SEO, looks for candidates who are a good fit with their team and possess the necessary technical skills. They value long-term relationships and being upfront about everything. The interview process reflects this by assessing both your expertise and how well you'd align with their company culture.

I applied online and got an initial interview a few days later to discuss my background. The first interview was very easy and robotic, with a list of questions. I was told I would move on to the next stage and that there would be a total of three interviews. My second interview was with JP, the director of paid search. I thought it went really well, but after a few days I got a rejection email saying they chose someone else. My negative experience comes from the lack of clarity in the rejection. The interview process here is not very good and needs a lot of work. People will see reviews and not want to work here, causing the company to lose more candidates. The interviewer mentioned they've lost good people due to bad processes and company opportunities.

I originally applied for the PPC manager role but was unaware of the analyst position. I got a call for a phone interview within 2 hours. It went well, but they mentioned my lack of experience. However, they were still interested and suggested I apply for the PPC analyst position, then sent an email to the hiring manager to set up an interview. The next day, I interviewed in person with the hiring manager for the analyst role. It seemed to go really well, like they liked all my answers. I sent a thank-you email that afternoon. After a week with no word, I followed up. A few days later, still no response, I sent another message. Then, a few days after that, I left a voicemail. It's been over a month since the first interview and I haven't heard back.
