I interviewed at Global Relay for a Senior Human Resources Business Partner role. The process starts with a 45-minute recruiter screen, followed by a 48-hour assignment (took ~8 hours). Next is a 45-minute HR Manager interview, then cognitive and behavioral tests. After that, a 45–60 minute HR Director interview, followed by an in-person with an HR Director and two senior leaders. Final step is an interview with the VP of HR and two additional HR Directors before a decision.

In the end I did not get a job offer and was told another candidate was selected. When asked if feedback could be shared, It was said the other candidate aligned more closely with Wfat they were looking for, however I saw they reposted the position a few days ago and this role has been open for 4 months now.
I was prompt, completed all tasks to the fullest and added much detail, I did excellent on the testing and the hiring manager who I would report to connected with me very well; however when invited for the in person interview, the sr leader who had no background in HR fired off question after question at me aggressively even focusing on questions that did not pertain to the duties of the role such as recruiting.

I now realize if a company has had a role open for months and keeps reposting, it may be a red flag.

Yeah this was a learning experience. Next time the process is drawn out like this, I will not be going through it. I’m curious to see how long before the role is filled. It’s a shame because I was really looking for a role I could stay at and really give it my all.

That sounds intense. I get wanting to assess properly, but long processes can lose good candidates. I think there is a balance between thorough and practical.

I just interviewed for the same role and went through the same hoops that you did. My last interview had to be after you were told that the role was filled. I did not get any feedback and was just sent the system generated rejection notice. If they are going to take so much of people's time on all of these assignments and assessments, the least they can do is call or at the very least, write an email. The recruiter called me to get in touch throughout the process, so clearly she knows how to use the phone. Seems they are expecting an awful lot from candidates for this level role and it seems that you and I have dodged a bullet. Good luck with your search! Something better will come along!

Sorry typed this out quickly - please disregard grammar and typos 🙊

Balance is the key in these kinda situations.

An assignment? Did they pay you for it?

A company should never be asking you do work without paying you for it. That is illegal and a massive red flag on how they view compliance there.

You should probably be glad you didn't end up there as there would likely be many more assignments taking up your nights and weekends. You should also consider reporting them to the DOL.

In your opinion, would it be best to reapply as a cold application?
