      Growth Hacking PR Manager Interview

      2 Jan 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Singapore
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Skyscanner (Singapore) in Oct 2016

      Interview

      My impression is that the company has not properly defined or understood this role as the job description differs greatly from what is highlighted during the interview. They might've well been interviewing me for a pure Growth Hacking manager role. I went through a phone screener, followed by a Skype interview with the head of department. I was then sent an assignment to come up with an idea for Skyscanner that would utilise growth hacking. I spent half a day at the office for three rounds - the presentation of my proposal, a culture fit interview and one about the pirate matrix (AARRR). Although the interviews were arranged proper, I personally felt that the interviewers focused too much on growth hacking and nothing on PR. I was very upfront that I have no experience with growth hacking, and was assured that learning would be on the job. However, my last interviewer on using the pirate matrix was visibly frustrated when I couldn't follow her train of thought as quickly as she wanted me to. The follow up stage was where it all went downhill. There was no one who got in touch with me and two months after my half day spent at the office, there has been nothing, except an email to say they would get back to me but I'm still waiting. I wonder if they will ever be able to fill the role adequately -- it was evident from my experience that they still are grappling with understanding the expectations of integrating PR and growth hacking. For all the preparation I had to do, the ROI in terms of the experience and follow up is pretty unsatisfying.

      Growth Hacking PR Manager Interview

      12 Dec 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Singapore
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Skyscanner (Singapore) in Dec 2016

      Interview

      Word of advice for potential applicants: calibrate your expectations or to not have any. The whole interview process for me took close to 6 months, with long intervals in between feedback, and I had to frequently chase the HR for comments or arrangements for the next round. I went through the full process of 5 rounds, the first being a HR screener Skype session, followed by an interview with your direct superior. Next came a full day session where I had to meet different people who assessed me on various aspects, such as a culture interview, a session on growth hacking concepts and theory, and a presentation on a pre-determined topic that they'll inform only a few days prior. Next came a test where I had to review some data/stats and come up with some PR angles. The final interview was a face-to-face with a senior company personnel who again assessed me on culture fit, and asked a standard, albeit somewhat challenging, set of questions (she was reading off a piece of paper) to test my responses. After ALL that, the HR scheduled a call to tell me that while everyone who met me loved me and were "impressed with my market knowledge, digital periphery, etc", they weren't sure if I had the necessary analytical attributes required for this job and that they "weren't even sure if they could ever find such a person". This just left a sour taste in my mouth, and I felt that they totally disrespected my time and the effort I put in throughout the 6 months, including researching and preparing a presentation for that full-day session. The "analytical attributes" per se were not even listed in the job description, nor was I asked/tested about it in any of the rounds that I went through. While the HR was sympathetic and somewhat apologetic in speaking with me, I had a feeling that they were not sure what they want out of a candidate, and came up with a legitimate "excuse" to not move forward with my application, considering the fact that I had cleared all the rounds - moreover the recent news about Skyscanner being acquired by a Chinese conglomerate could've further exacerbated the situation, and created some uncertainty internally, which could've led to this lack of urgency in hiring new candidates. Overall, while I enjoyed each step of the interview process, and I had fun discussing concepts and ideas with the interviewers, the entire process just felt like I'd wasted 6 months of my time with no tangible outcomes to show for it.
