The Center for Reproductive Rights Interview Questions
& Process

The first interview went really well, I thought it was great. The second interview was scheduled for two weeks later. Honestly, the second interview was just okay, I'm not great at judging these things anymore. Then, after that, they went completely silent for FIVE whole weeks! I sent FIVE follow-up emails, and still nothing. So, almost two months passed, I had two interviews, and then they just ghosted me! The rejection email they finally sent seemed totally automated, which makes me think, why not send it sooner? I expected a better process from a social justice non-profit. I know recruiters are just doing their job, but companies and hiring managers really owe candidates better communication. Seriously, do better.

I applied online in May 2023. The whole process took three weeks. It was one of the most unprofessional and rude interview experiences I've ever had. They called me days before the interview to confirm everything, including my start date, but then hours before the interview, they called to say the position was filled and they weren't considering me anymore. They didn't explain why they continued the interview process when they had already hired someone. It's clear their HR is disorganized and inconsiderate, which is disappointing given the Center's mission. I wouldn't recommend applying here because they don't respect candidates' time or dignity.

The interview process included a phone screen, a skills assessment, an interview with the manager, then an interview with several staff members. This was followed by another interview with the same manager from the first video call, and then an interview with two more staff members. This whole process took over a month and was quite draining, with no compensation provided. I had two separate one-hour one-on-one interviews with the same staff member. During the second interview with the manager, they asked about the type of management style and onboarding support I would want if I got the job. Ultimately, I was told they went with another candidate who had more experience. It seemed unnecessary to have so many interviews that felt like final rounds, especially since there was another candidate who was already ahead with more experience. All the people I spoke with were nice and polite, but I've never spent this much time on an interview process before, especially for a role that wasn't highly advanced and had a lower salary range.

The last interview wasn't too tough but you should know about the Interamerican Court of Human Rights and its key reports. They'll likely ask about major cases concerning women's reproductive rights and your views on abortion and reproductive health. Other questions might cover the difficulties Latam faces with reproductive rights and any litigation experience you have.
