Had an informational with the hiring manager and then a second interview with a 5 member panel (stakeholders + Hiring Manager). The informational was virtual and the panel was an onsite interview (but most of the interviewers attended virtually). Was notified within one week for the informational interview outcome and two weeks of the panel interview of the outcome. Interviewers were professional and welcoming. I think my interview experience would have been better if more interviewers were either onsite or had their camera on.

I was reached out via email by the Hiring Manager/Director for the job to answer questions that were addressed in my cover letter and were not a part of the ICiMS applicant portal when submitting my application. Afterward, I was allowed to schedule a 45-minute video interview. During the interview, a breakdown of the role and responsibilities was given. I was given a chance to speak about my qualifications and why I would be an ideal candidate for this role; the HM liked my response and gave the impression that I would be given an offer. The HM told me that they would not prefer to interview candidates again for this position and would desire someone to stay long-term in this role. I was asked, "How do I know you won't apply to another role within SCH as it is easier to move around to other departments once you are in the organization?" this gave me the impression that my growth opportunities would be limited here. I was passed on to a 2nd round of video interviews to meet the team. I was told I would be an ideal candidate for this position as this position worked with very diverse communities, and I would be able to bring my experience into this program. I followed up with the HM the following week to see where my application stood, and I was told that I would not be offered a job because HM thought this position would not be challenging, and I am overly qualified for a Program Coordinator 2 position. However, each individual finds challenges within their role, but it was predetermined that I would be "bored in a few months...". The organization struggles with Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, so I felt I was interviewed to meet a diversity quota.
