What usually happens on 2nd or even 3rd round of interviews and who talks to you? Done with my interview and was advised there might be a second round. The suspense is killing me.

Depends on who you met with during the first round and how big the agency is. Did you meet with the hiring manager(s)? Your prospective partner? Leadership (GCD and above)? Whoever you haven’t met in that list is probably who you’ll meet next, and perhaps third.

Fingers crossed indeed.

Good point SAD1. I’ll definitely try to ask if I could set up a call with those people should they give me an offer.

at my current agency, I met with a CCO, then another creative leader (think ECD level), then two potential creative partners (separately), then got a job offer from the CCO + hiring manager

Reverse ladder then. Did you get to choose your partner? Hopefully I hear back from them 🤞

I ask candidates to meet with their future peers in round 2. It’s important to me that the candidate gets a full picture and can ask questions of people in the role they are taking. I don’t want someone to just do the job, I want someone that will like working with the team too.
