I was recruited on LinkedIn by HR to interview for the role of Consultant/Director. A few days later, I had a brief call with HR. A few days after that, I had a formal video interview with HR. The following week, I had a video interview with a team leader that went very well!! She asked situational questions as well as regular interview questions about my education and work experience. Then right after, I was asked to make a deck based on a two page writing assessment I also had to complete. Shortly after, they asked me to come interview at their offices in person with two other people who were in a similar role to the one I was interviewing for. That went superb as well! I kept getting good feedback and quickly pushed through the process. On my way out, the team lead told me explicitly that "new hires always meet with the partner of the team as a formality but it's truly just a 20 min call!" so if I got that last step, I essentially had the role. After a week, I did indeed have that final call and it also went swimmingly! He told me I had all the skills and experience to exceed in this role and also told me I had a very impressive resume! I was just waiting for an offer letter at this point. They had lead me on for weeks about how perfect I was for the role only to ghost for almost 2 weeks until I got a vague email for the original HR person saying it was a competitive process and they went with someone else. I have heard that this is common practice for CCS internally and for interviewing candidates so beware!
