I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Y (YMCA) in Feb 2024
Interview
Full process had three steps: 1. 20-30 minute recruiter screen, 2. 45 minute panel interview, 3. 30 minute 1:1 interview with VP of HR.
The recruiter screen had basic questions: examples - "Tell me about yourself", "Tell me about a time when you had to push back", and "Tell me about something you're really proud of."
The panel interview consisted of exactly 7 questions and had 3 team members.
The recruiter was very kind, but lacked in providing transparent communication and timely updates. For example, he did not communicate who I would be meeting with during the panel. Additionally, his boss had to send me a Zoom link. After I concluded my interviews, I followed up with the recruiter 2x to check in and see if there was an updated or feedback, and received no response. Candidate experience matters - people remember how you made them feel and the lack of communication left me feeling very underwhelmed.

Two interviews, first with the HR Manager, then with the branch leaders. They sent me the questions ahead of time. It was pretty straightforward. They self the offer letter soon after the second interview.
