I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at USA TODAY Co. in Jul 2022
Interview
Applied online. A couple of days later, I got an email from HR asking me to fill out a questionnaire (link to a one drive file was sent).
I click the link and see that another candidate has filled it out. I send a note to HR about getting an incorrect link. HR sends another. This one has info from a different candidate.
The questionnaire was basic info that you’d get during a phone screen (Shy should we hire you? Why Gannett? Salary expectations? Etc.)
I’ve never come across an HR department that was THAT lazy. Also, I wasn’t too impressed with their ability to protect the confidentiality of their candidates. I mean I know the names of 2 of them along with what they currently get paid. No thanks. Didn’t bother responding.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at USA TODAY Co. (Milwaukee, WI) in Feb 2016
Interview
Quick and simple. I spoke with my new manager over the phone and video, which was great. She was very honest about the opportunity and what would be required.
