I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Curative Care Network (Milwaukee, WI) in Jul 2019
Interview
The interview consisted of one phone interview, and two onsite interviews (if you were chosen for the final round).
During the first onsite I met with the Director of HR, Jim. He was very pleasant and the interview was very conversational and standard. He asked me about my previous experience, and what I was looking for in a company. When I asked him what metrics would be used to define the success of someone in this position, he said he could not answer because the role had not been clearly defined. While I initially took this as a good thing (I like a challenge and I’m up for anything) in retrospect, I should have taken it as a clear red flag that the company lacks organization and structure. Jim told me that the final round interview (should I be selected) would be down to the final two candidates, and that they would both be meeting with the company’s President and CEO, Candy Hennessy. About a week later I received an e-mail asking me to come in for a final round.
My interview with Candy is where things began to take a sharp decline. From the moment I walked into her office, she began rapid firing questions at me (not a big deal, I like answering questions), but she CONSISTENTLY cut me off before I could finish my answers. Clearly she failed “Interviewing 101”, and she quickly established herself as a rude leader. It was very clear that she was more comfortable talking about her own accomplishments than asking me about my resume. Similarly, she could not say what this role would consist of and what she would expect of someone aside from “a creative approach.” She really turned me off from the company because of how dismissive and boastful she was. As a former Talent Acquisition Manager myself, it was shocking to see such a blatant disregard for a supposed final round candidate.
What perturbed me the most about the entire process was the lack of communication between the company and myself. I followed up with both Jim and Candy, thanking them for their time, and when I still hadn’t heard anything back in a week, I emailed Jim to ask when I should expect to hear an answer either way. I never received a response!
Even if you are going to reject a candidate, it is professional/ common courtesy to let them know! I could not believe that Curative was so disrespectful to someone that set aside time to show genuine interest in their company. Overall I’d say the lack of organization and the way they treat potential employees is a clear sign to stay away.

Interview
I had a phone interview in which I was very open and honest about my career and why I was looking. I felt it went well and that the recruiter was very optimistic and anxious to have me come in. She said she would email or call with interview times for the following week once she took a look at the calendar. Instead, I didn't hear back until the following Monday in which I received a generic email that said I was not being considered. It wasn't even directly from her. Very misleadindg and unprofessional.

Interview
Basic interviews (for entry level positions) consist of about 15 questions and will last about 45 minutes. Interview will either take place in the main facility or at the site you are applying to work at. Applying on-line is most common. Some people apply at the specific site or at the HR office in the main building although it doesn't necessarily make a huge difference. If you apply in person, make sure you look nice and present yourself professionally as the manager will likely not necessarily speak with you but will ask others how you carried yourself, etc (and may even be watching from a distance).
If you're applying for Senior Management Position (including program director) you will likely interview with group of managers as well as the CEO.
More entry level positions typically only consist of one interview. This interview will be with an HR Rep and the Program Manager (along with possibly one staff member from the program).
