      Associate Director Interview

      Dec 16, 2015
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Mediaocean

      Interview

      A waste of time. I initially spoke with the director recruiting at the beginning of November. Our conversation seemed to have gone well however I never heard back. A month later, another internal recruiter reaches out as if it's the first time I've been contacted re this role. I'm told to take two different assessments before even speaking with the recruiter. I take the tests and set up an initial phone screen with her. She mentions the hiring manager saw my resume and wants to speak with me. Great. This however can't take place until I retake the math/comprehension test AGAIN, via Skype just so they can make sure it's me. What a joke. Thereafter, I'm not finally able to speak with the hiring manager. First, she was very cold over the phone and not friendly. Second, after about 4 minutes, she asks about my traditional experience and I tell her it is limited. My resume CLEARLY shows my experience is in Digital yet after speaking with the hiring manager I'm now told the role pertains mainly to traditional media. This wasn't even made clear in the job description because if it was, I never would've applied. All in all, complete waste of time.

      Thank you for your honest feedback. We try to maintain frequent and transparent communication with all candidates, but admittedly, we could have done a better job in this instance. We are in the midst of several transitions in our recruiting process, and ideally try to minimize the impact on our candidates. Nonetheless, we apologize for the frustrations you've shared and are working hard to improve our candidate experience. If you'd like to speak further, please feel free to contact me directly. Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience.
