I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at FleishmanHillard
Interview
I was recruited, so the process began with the recruiter contacting me, and then an interview with the recruiter. From there, I had 3 interviews with team members/leadership members. The recruiter stayed in continual contact with me and I never felt ghosted. I actually really enjoyed the interview process.

Question 1
There were several questions relating back to culture, which I appreciated. It became quickly clear that FH cares deeply about the person, not only about the work.

Interview
I had a great experience with the recruiter, in-depth questions and great insight into the role. If only the tech team had the same approach. After shifting schedules around multiple times, the head of the tech team did not even show up. The other person on the call was quiet and barely asked any questions. I asked several in-depth questions that the person could not answer and was told soon after that I was not moving forward in the interview process.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at FleishmanHillard (New York, NY) in Jun 2023
Interview
When I expressed my desire to learn the agency side of communications and how this would contribute to my professional growth, the hiring manager seemed confused and emphasized that this was a leadership role and asked me to how this desire would fit with the role expectations, which came off a bit insulting, as I’ve been in a communications leadership role reporting to the CEO for over 10 years, just not within an agency. It appeared the culture here doesn’t view leadership roles as roles that should position themselves in learning and growth mindsets, which may explain the reviews on here from current and past junior employees of leadership culture.
