I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Searchmetrics (Dallas, TX) in Feb 2022
Interview
I applied on Linkedin and got a call from their recruiter. We had quite a long but helpful call to understand what they're looking for and the interview process.
He forwarded resume to hiring team and the first interview was scheduled with Client Success Manager, about 30 minutes.
Then within a few days I got an email from recruiter saying they'd like to schedule the 2nd interview which was panel with the SEO Manager and a Sr SEO Consultant. Part of the second step included a spreadsheet where they wanted me to show I have excel formula knowledge to easily extract data. Then they wanted me to spend just an hour or two on creating a PPT presentation for a specified website where I made recommendations for 3 pre defined areas.
The panel interview included my presentation of the PPT, they asked questions, we discussed. Then the second part was quick 20 to 30 min 1:1s with the manager and Sr Consultant.
After about a week or so I got follow up email from recruiter saying they wanted to have another quick 15 to 30 min chat about how I use ScreamingFrog. That call was scheduled quickly and I shared how I use it, what reports I export and that was it!
Then within a few days recruiter emailed me for he and I to have a quick follow up, and thats when they offered the job

Interview
There was a multi-stage interview process.
Interviews with HR, with the head of the department and with a senior specialist in my area of work. On one of the calls I was given a test assignment, which was discussed on the last deciding call. The test was interesting. I had to assess client problems on real websites and suggest ways of solving them.
