Heavy emphasis on culture fit and personal strengths. The initial interview was long, followed by a work profile and personality assessment then final interview. Overall, their interview process was extremely strong and thorough. They were transparent about their needs and future opportunities.
Very straight-forward interview process. It involved an initial meeting with the ECD and Group Creative Directors, the second was with the CEO and COO. The meetings were very conversational and transparent on what the responsibilities of the job would entail.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What experience do you have with digital/social projects?
The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at The LOOMIS Agency
Interview
After several rounds of email questions I was sent a huge assignment to work on that required work details from the start of ones career. It had several questions and you had to answer it for every job you have done since the beginning. It took me hours and hours to the point that I was sick of doing it and just wanted to get done, and send it away.
Their response - None. Nada. Zilch.
A basic courtesy email; “we received your docket, it was horrible so we won’t move forward.” How many seconds of their valuable time would that take to send back to the candidate who spent several hours to answer your irrelevant, nonsensical essay format questions?
In my job search I was ghosted by a couple of recruiters but that’s understandable, people do tend to get busy. But these guys WASTED several hours and didn’t have the decency to even reply back a receipt.
I’m so glad I didn’t join this place, speaks volumes about the people, and their culture.
