1. Initial phone screening with talent acquisition. Reviewing description of role and salary expectations, some basic questions about background and fit for the position, time for questions. Followed up by hour long pen and paper math test to be submitted and scored. 2. Later in the week, 1-on-1 meeting with campus director. Involved more specific questions about approach to teaching and management, situations with past coworkers or work environments. 3. Following week, three back-to-back-to-back interview sessions on the same day. Prep material provided for teaching demo several days in advance. 3a. Meeting with campus director and regional director regarding approach to management and leadership. Several very specific questions about past experiences in leadership roles, as well as a variety of hypothetical workplace scenarios you’d be likely to encounter in the role. 3b. Meeting with team member from San Diego headquarters, task regarding managerial prioritization. Interview begins with provision of several emails similar to what you may receive in the role, you are given a fixed amount of time to take notes and rank the emails from highest to lowest priority. Rationale for your rankings and potential response strategies discussed afterwards. 3c. Teaching demo with campus directors. Lead a pre-determined lesson (you are provided notes in advance) where the directors act as your students. Debrief afterwords with some discussion of your pedagogy. 4. Decision notification within a week (though there was an existing deadline for me to respond to a different employer). These are the technical details, but beyond all that, this was easily the most fun I’ve had during an interview process. Some of the tasks were tough, but I felt like they were really doing their due diligence in testing the skills of their candidates, and I felt a sense of comfort in that they really wanted to get to know the skills of applicants instead of just hiring based on resumes. Every session was more enjoyable than the last and every interviewer was so incredibly personable, open, and spoke about AoPS with a genuine sense of excitement and fulfillment. By the end of the interviews, I wanted the job so much more than at the start simply based on how the vibes and feedback from the interviews were all green flags. Regardless of outcome, I still thought the interview process would’ve been incredibly good practice for other management/directorial roles.

Process went: 1. HR Screening 2. Interview with Campus Director (Behavioral and understanding background) 3. Technical Interview (Do you know the content?) 4. Interview with Campus and Regional Directors (Behavioral interview) 5. Case based Interview with regional coordinator

Very communicative, thorough, and well-designed; my best interview process by far. You meet people at the local and HQ level and are able to learn a great deal about the company, pedagogy, and scope of the role.
