Phone call Interview with HR and then zoom meeting with manager. Next phase would have been a presentation/assignment and showcasing that to the team. HR phone call was great, the second interview was a little more prickly. I got the sense the company was going through a lot of changes and didn’t have the patience.

Interview
The first interview was a phone call. It was super personable. The person who held the screening made me feel at ease. It started off as a very casual conversation, and then they asked a few questions.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Knix (Toronto, ON) in Sep 2023
Interview
I recently interviewed with Knix and I must say the experience was great. They have an off-camera policy for the first round which as far as I can tell is not the industry norm. While they do it to ensure fairness, as a candidate not having to show my face makes the interview process somewhat less intimidating.
The interview felt more like a conversation. In those brief 30 minutes I spoke about the books I was reading and loving, the kind of people I see myself working with and the importance of diversity of thought in the workplace.
For those who are at the interviewing stages with Knix, you would benefit as much from company research as you would from getting in touch with your internal journey as a writer. Good luck :)
