GoFundMe interview questions

The application involves general information and essay questions. It takes about an hour to answer the questions thoughtfully. Then they send you a screening email with more essay questions and the exercise of setting up your own campaign on their website. It took me about two hours to thoroughly complete the assignment. Next, is a phone screening. About 30 minutes of general interview questions. At this point, I had spent over five hours on questions and researching the company and they hardly spent 30 minutes. The company should be more selective on who they send the screening questions to. Do not send them to EVERYONE who qualifies because you are just wasting people's time! After the phone screening is at least two in person interviews. Overall, applicants are expected to jump through hoops for a chance to work for a decent (but not impressive) salary with no adjustment for experience or skills, a terrible schedule (nights and weekends) and virtually no career advancement (over half of the small staff are customer service agents).

The interview process for this company was a bit of a mess. After a phone screening and meeting with six people, the team determines if you're the right fit or not. They call their process "thorough," though perhaps they should realize that asking the same exact questions at every step is totally redundant and inane at best. Much like the unimpressive interview process, the vibe from one of the executives is pretty unprofessional. While interviewees make an effort to be respectful of the company's efforts and make a good impression, he seemed more concerned with attempting to maintain a painful and distracting youthful appearance. Overall, stringing along applicants is a sign of a young company that is still trying to figure things out and not of this amazingly innovative and efficient one that GoFundMe wants to portray. It is also worth noting that this position is misleadingly advertised in the non-profit section of Craigslist. This is a for-profit company, so that makes absolutely no sense.
