This is the process and experience that I had: Initial email: At Phoenix Tailings, we pride ourselves on making data-driven decisions. To help us evaluate your capabilities, we’d like you to prepare a one-page written market overview summarizing the top five producers of rare earth feedstock (Oxides, Carbonates, and Mixed Rare Earth Concentrates) outside of China expected to supply the market over the next five years. (additional details as well) After this was submitted, almost two weeks later I received this follow up: As a way to get to know you better, we’d like to schedule a 15-minute introductory call with a member of our team. Please select a time that works for your schedule here. This call will be conducted via Microsoft Teams. Should you need to reschedule your interview, kindly let us know by replying all to this email thread and we will work to find a more suitable time. We’ve developed a comprehensive and structured recruitment process to help us select the best candidates for every position. Each stage provides an opportunity for us to gain deeper insights into your skills, experiences, and potential for success within our organization while providing you with an understanding of who we are and how we work.

Our full recruitment process is as follows: Introductory Call (15 min) Interview (30 min) Culture Fit Interview (30 min) Divisional Interview (90 min skillset deep dive discussion, ideally in person) Reference and background check Job Offer During my initial call the man interviewing me was distracted a majority of the time. Was not a positive experience. Would not recommend even attempting to apply to this company. It is a waste of time and definitely does not seem like they a trying to start a serious company.
