Found the job listing on LinkedIn. Knew a friend who had previously worked at the company about a year ago and asked for a referral. Was referred to the recruiting team, and got a call from a recruiting coordinator the next day. She gave me a basic overview of the role and asked a couple informal questions about my experience (it's a technical-recruiting role, and did I have any background in technical recruiting... yes.). It was right around the holidays but she said she wanted to get me in as soon as possible so we coordinated my availability and she emailed me to come in the next week. Logistics etc were pretty straightforward. I came onsite and met with the same recruiting coordinator and a product designer. They talked a lot about what makes IXL unique and what the company has been focusing on lately (adding more Language Arts content!). Also, since the company is planning to grow a lot in the upcoming year, there were a lot of questions and dialogue about the recruiting process and my experience creating a good candidate experience, sourcing candidates, and developing processes for the future. I then did a call with the Corporate Recruiter (who was out of the office at the time) who explained a lot of the expectations of the new role, how the recruiting team will be developing in the near future, and asked me some basic questions about my background and strengths. Then it was Thanksgiving week but they brought me in about a week after the holidays (I had originally scheduled to come in earlier but I had a conflict with my then-current job so I rescheduled with the recruiting coordinator, who was very quick at accommodating). I met with the corporate recruiter, a member of the HR team, the VP Operations, and the Engineering Manager who I would work with on recruiting. They all hit a variety of areas but talked a lot about IXL's growth, areas for improvement, and their perspectives of the recruiting process. They told me they'd let me know within a week if I'd gotten the job, and I received an offer 2 days later. I had a conversation with the corporate recruiter to go over some last thoughts and questions that I had, and I'd had another final interview scheduled with another company, but in the end I cancelled it to accept my offer from IXL. I'd previously had a job at a tech startup. While IXL is much bigger than the 10-person startup, it definitely still values the quick-moving developer culture that I was looking for, but with a diverse mix of employees who are young and looking to work with the newest technologies, and also some seasoned professionals who I felt like I could learn from in my career. Everyone I talked to during the interview process obviously really cares about what the company is doing, so in the end I think it was the best decision!
