Applied, then had a quick phone call to screen me, and then went in for an in-person interview. The in-person part included a tour of the school and a chat with the head of the social work department.

I was first reached out to by a recruiter about the role. A colleague I'd worked with before referred me to the client CEO. I then interviewed with the CEO, followed by the EVP/COO and EVP/HR. The EVP/HR and EVP/COO interviews felt like they were mainly to see if I'd fit in with the team. After those interviews, I met with a Board member. I kept the recruiter updated after each meeting. About a week later, the recruiter contacted me with an offer, which I accepted and got in writing the next day.
