Clear process, interview was straightforward and company shared questions beforehand - was invited to submit video screener questions too which was new for me. Overall, a positive experience despite not getting the job.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why are you interested in working at Swipe Out Hunger
After submitting a resume I was sent a link to an online interview platform to record two screener question answers. Pretty simple self taped video screener interview with 2 questions. Multiple attempts to film answers were allowed, and the time limit for each was about 2 minutes.

Question 1
Tell us a bit about your background and why you're interested in this position
When you apply for a role you record a video on their website answering 3 questions. During the interview the interviewer stated the interview would be recorded and then watched by other staff. Definitely felt a little odd as this was the first time I had an interview recorded. The interview seemed to go well. Good questions and I was told I would hear back from them after the holidays since they were closed for a few days. I never heard back from them. I initially sent a thank you after the interview and after not hearing back after several weeks I sent a follow up email. Within a day of sending a follow up email, they sent a rejection email. Not sure why I needed to be the reminder to tell a candidate you were not interested.
For an organization dedicated to stop college campus hunger, I would think they would prioritize letting their candidates know they are not interested. As they may not know their circumstances. Definitely something they can work on.
