I applied online. I interviewed at CCS Fundraising (Dublin, Dublin) in Oct 2025
Interview
It involves several stages. It began with a general presentation of the company by HR, followed by an interview with HR. After that, they sent me an assignment to complete within five days, which I was expected to present in person. However, due to what they described as “internal company policies,” they did not provide any feedback or explanation as to why I was not given the opportunity to present my work.
It is very disrespectful that after four months in a process they are uncapable of giving you any sort of feedback.
Tells a lot of an organisation.

I applied online. I interviewed at CCS Fundraising (Chicago, IL) in Jun 2026
Interview
My interviewers (Central region) were kind, transparent, and friendly. The questions were relevant, and oriented towards understanding my insights and background. The 2nd round interview was a presentation of the case I was assigned. It went smoothly, and the follow up questions were thoughtful but not tricky.

Question 1
What are some key indicators you'd look for to determine campaign success?
I applied to CCS in August 2024 and they took me through the entire process only to let me go via generic email. A year later, with more experience, I circled back to HR and asked to talk about interviewing again. They agreed and I interviewed with HR on October 10 and then they had me doing an extensive writing exercise (the same one as last summer) which I submitted on October 24. After following up, I heard back form HR only to be rejected again. I won't be interviewing here again. Not only am I absolutely qualified but their communication is not up to par and they won't give candidates feedback on their writing assignments that take hours of uncompensated labor.
