Two rounds of interviews one with a recruiter, one with the hiring manager. I left the second interview under the impression that there was a connection, that the hiring manager was confident in my abilities to successfully accomplish their goals, and that I was a great fit for the organization (which was communicated with me post-interview). After sending my thank you letter, I was told by the hiring manager that they were in the early stages of the hiring process and that decisions would be made within a couple of weeks. Unfortunately, I then waited for well over a month without receiving any communication. I finally reached out for a status update, which is when I found out that they had moved forward with another candidate who was already working with the account (or accounts?) that the person in this role would need to manage. They did not include this requirement in the job description, for what I would assume to be obvious reasons, proprietary liability. Company culture observation: iHeart prides itself on its diversified and inclusive culture. When you go on LinkedIn and you search for the senior leadership at the organization (specifically on the business side)… despite the large pool of candidates of color, you will not see that diversified and inclusive selling point reflected there.

Multiple interviews with the sales and marketing teams, plus had to build a deck to show knowledge of the business, objectives and then present to the leadership team. Very positive feedback from the experience.
