The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Edelman
Interview
I applied online. Recruiter acted very fast, had an interview within a few days. By far, 4 rounds in total
1. HR screening interview, quite a pleasant conversation. It took 30 mins
2. Two managerial interviews with two managers from different team.
3. Written test, completed during the weekend.
Haven’t heard back from them for almost a month, followed up with the recruiters, they said they haven’t heard back from the team yet, would keep me updated asap, still I know where I am now, I hope they could let their applicants know if they failed the interview instead of kept them waiting

Question 1
Why Edelman but not staying at your previous firm?
Call with recruiter to see if the role fits and aligns with you and then several rounds of interviews with team and executives to talk about experience and a writing test.

Question 1
Why Edelman and PR.? Tell me about a project that you worked on and time you faced challenges?
I applied online. I interviewed at Edelman (New York, NY) in May 2026
Interview
Applied through linked in with simple questions and resume upload. Never heard back despite being qualified for the job (3+ years at another agency with similar clients). Shocked to not even receive a regret to inform you email
Composto por diversas etapas mas no geral o processo fluiu bem e sempre recebi as respostas rápido. RH bem atencioso e comunicação por email funcionou bem. No geral achei um processo criterioso mas não exatamente difícil
