I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Aledade (Bethesda, MD) in May 2019
Interview
Several phone interviews to pre-screen. Pretty intensive in-person series of interviews on-site in Bethesda. This was for a state Executive Director position, so there were a lot of phone interviews with central office people and with statewide stakeholders. By the end of the interview process, I felt like I had a very good sense of the culture and of the people I would be working most closely with.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
One really tough question (that I wish I had a do-over on) was this: Tell me about a time that you really messed something up or made a significant mistake, and tell me what you did to recover from it.
I went through 4 rounds of interviews that all went extremely well. I received positive feedback and communication along the way. Suddenly, I was ghosted and finally I had to reach back out to the recruiter to be told they were going in another direction.

Question 1
The interviews were mostly conversational. One leader who interviewed me was even in the car when we spoke.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Aledade
Interview
I did enjoy connecting with the recruiter and multiple leaders. I went through four separate interviews with very positive feedback throughout the process, only to be ghosted for a time and then eventually receive a “thanks, but no thanks” without any other feedback or helpful critiques provided as to why they decided to go in a different direction.

Question 1
The interviews were more conversational than traditional Q&A.
I have interviewed for a lot of Executive Director jobs and while Aledade's work with clinicians is known to be high quality and admirable, their interview process is PAINFULLY drawn out relative to pay/level of job. It was a draining 7 rounds or about 6 hours of (work hour) time over many weeks to get to no thanks.
