I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Service Coordination in Sep 2022
Interview
First, a recruiter conducted a 30–45-minute phone interview with me. This interview was very basic and asked questions about past work experience. The second interview was virtual with three managers from the county I would be working in. They asked many detailed questions about past situations that related to the job. Many of the questions were a bit difficult to answer since I am a recent graduate and do not have case worker expeirence. The job description specifically stated new graduates were encouraged to apply. I really enjoyed the managers who interviewed me and felt like the position would be a great fit. Unfortuntely, I was not informed until the last 5 minutes of the interview that position was actually available and they were creating a queue of eligible applicants. They explained they are hoping to expand in 6-9 months and wanted to have candidates who have already been through the interview process ready for when the time came. While this isn't inherently an issue, I found it dishonest they did not tell me until the very end of the second interview. Due to the lack of an immediately/soon available position, I chose to remove myself from consideration for the position. I felt lied to and felt this dishonestly was a glimpse into how the organization is run.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Provide an example of a time where you had to gather various people together and conducted a meeting as an advocate for someone else.
I interviewed at Service Coordination (Baltimore, MD)
Interview
First a screening interview then an interview with the hiring manager.
Rigid but ultimately simple and thorough interview. Questions were primarily asking to "describe a time when". Not a bad experience at all.

Interview
There were 2 virtual interviews - one with HR the other with supervisors. The second took about 1.5 hours. They also have you complete a sample writing assignment to see how detailed you are.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Service Coordination (Catonsville, MD) in Sep 2024
Interview
There was one interview with the talent acquisition, and the next step would be with the supervisor in the area I applied to in my field of work. I never got a call back for a second interview. I was surprised I was not picked based on a reference from a colleague who works for SCI. We both had the same job before SCI, and technically, I had more work experience, being older than her in other work, and I did not qualify for the second interview. We both were puzzled and disappointed to say I needed more experience, which again did not make sense. I think they care more about a certain degree than hands-on work experience.

Question 1
Tell me why you would like to work for SCI?
Many scenario questions, describe a time you had to tell a client no and it was not in policy.
