      Communications Manager Interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at McKinstry

      Interview

      The interview questions below were from a recruiter from an outside firm who contacted me after I submitted an application. They were sent via email, and provided enough information for me about the company culture to prompt me to bow out of consideration. I responded stating this, including the insights I've outlined below, and received a condescending email back from the recruiter. I understand that each company has different expectations of remote work during "normal" times, but a Communications Manager position is not one that is necessary to do in-person during a global pandemic. I would know because I've successfully worked remotely and safely from home the past 12 months in my current position, which is similar to the open role. Additionally, typically companies would discuss compensation or salary expectations during a phone interview. The posing of question #4 asking my minimum salary requirement for a new position before even speaking on the phone makes it sound like McKinstry does not pay their employees competitively, but rather looks to pay the bare minimum compared to market rate. I do not think this is a great employee-focused strategy.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      1) What specifically interests you about McKinstry and this position? 2) Please provide a high level summary of your experience setting and implementing a communication strategy and a communication calendar for your organization. 3) This position is located on the main McKinstry campus just south of downtown Seattle with free parking. This role is required to be in the office 3 days a week with safe COVID practices in place. Please confirm that this works for you. 4) What is your minimum salary requirement for a new opportunity? Please be specific.
