I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Directive (California City, CA) in Jan 2025
Interview
Pretty intensive interview process- 2 interviews with the hiring manager, interview with the person the job would report to, presentation of a account audit, interview with the COO to finalize the interview process
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Technical / performance marketing related questions focused on specific platforms and tactics, strategy questions, general work experience overview, and general culture questions
I applied through other source. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Directive in Mar 2024
Interview
Interview process was pretty clear.
0. HR - Initial call
1. HR - video interview.
2. Paid media VP interview
[preparation to interview]
3. Presenting presentation before paid media VP and head of paid media VP
Overall the interview was pretty average.
Issues:
1. After very first contact with Directive they ghosted me, and didn’t reply. After reply they said that “no move forward”.
2. Second time I went through the deep interview process, during which I spend a lot of time preparing the presentation which was about couple days.
3. After the final interview I’ve got a call. VP of paid media told me, that I’ve got an experience, however at the moment they won’t be hiring at that role no one. Once I applied once again, they told me I’m not a good fit.
