Glassdoor users rated their interview experience at LIFT as 60% positive with a difficulty rating score of 2.58 out of 5 (where 5 is the highest level of difficulty). Candidates interviewing for Community Advocate and Summer Associate rated their interviews as the hardest, whereas interviews for Accounting Coordinator and Student Advocate roles were rated as the easiest.
The hiring process at LIFT takes an average of 15 days when considering 21 user submitted interviews across all job titles. To compare, the average duration of hiring at similar companies like BlackRock, Inc. is 14 days, Fabricated Software, Inc. is 2 days, and Apple Inc. is 21 days. Candidates applying for Student Advocate had the quickest hiring process (on average 7 days), whereas Summer Advocate roles had the slowest hiring process (on average 21 days).
There were 3 rounds. A screen with an outside recruiting consultant (this was vague and they were quite persistent), one with hiring manager and a panel. Video interviews were recorded. Very similar questions were asked so it seems like there was little internal communication. No feedback at all was provided.

Tranquilo. Medições no corpo e perguntas sobre disponibilidade. Perguntas básicas e benefícios da empresa. O trabalho foi explicado, carga horária. A alimentação não era fornecida e 1 cesta básica concedida caso o funcionário não atrasarem.

Question 1
Sobre medidas, disponibilidade e oferta de trabalho
External recruiter so beware. Moved interview around and scheduled 15 minutes but asked for 30 in the calendar invite. Had to reach out to ultimately be rejected. LIFT’s mission is noble but the candidate experience left much to be desired.
