      Social Worker Interview

      May 15, 2018
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Uncommon Schools in Feb 2018

      Interview

      Recruiter is very efficient and polite. They tend to interview candidates first before confirming any openings. Had a phone interview but there was no opening in the area I was looking at. I eventually got an interview with a school after following up with the recruiter but the school's needs changed and they were no longer hiring.

      Social Worker Interview

      Sep 13, 2019
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Brooklyn, NY
      No offer
      Negative experience

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Uncommon Schools (Brooklyn, NY)

      Interview

      Applied online and asked to submit a video interview. Contacted almost 2 months later stating they aren’t sure of staffing needs and put me on hold. A few days later was contacted about an opening and scheduled an in person interview, only for that interview to be cancelled the day before. Received an e-mail two months later stating I was no longer being considered for any positions. I found the whole process to be dragged out and unprofessional with a lot of back and forth and a lack of communication between different departments in their organization.

      Social Worker Interview

      Anonymous employee
      Brooklyn, NY
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Uncommon Schools (Brooklyn, NY) in Aug 2016

      Interview

      30 minute recruiter phone call. I then did not hear from them again for 3 months until a position opened. I did not observe the school in session as the students had already dismissed. I highly recommend doing observations in school to have a good idea of what the school is like. In-person 3 hour interview with Principal.
