It was an odd one. The CEO reached out to me on LinkedIn and I went ahead and set up an interview. It was with someone else on the team who asked me questions about my accomplishments then gave me an on the spot math quiz
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at BairesDev (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2023
Interview
After you have a 45-minute video interview with a member of the talent acquisition team, you have to complete two hours worth of the following online tests: - Problem-solving - Advanced problem-solving - Situational Questions - Practical Skills Most of these questions are related to math and logic which have nothing to do with public relations or a communications / writing intensive job. I felt like I was back in algebra and statistics class.

It was the most human job interview I've ever attended, with the interviewer sharing personal insights/experiences. Very attentive and, at the same time, objective and practical in conducting the conversation.
