For me, it was a good experience. There was great communication. They were thorough, but you will be glad they are doing their due diligence and being good stewards of who they hire. I recommend to come prepared of course.

A recruiter contacted me to interview for a marketing manager position, but several weeks after the interview, the recruiter was informed that I didn't have enough campaign management experience for the role. The recruiter asked me to craft an email outlining why I thought I would be a good fit for the position and sent it to World Vision. After a week or two, HR invited me back to interview for another position within the marketing department, but reporting to a different manager. The interview went well and I met with two individuals I had previously spoken to in addition to the hiring manager. As I was leaving, HR shook my hand and said 'I look forward to working with you if all goes well'. The next day they asked for my references which they called the following week. My recruiter emailed me to say that a job offer was being put together and being sent to the hiring manager for approval. Four days went by and an offer never came. After another week, HR contacted my recruiter with an explanation as to why no offer was made. Without getting into specifics, one of the points outlined was a poorly phrased comment on my part taken out of context. I was disappointed that they could use my nervous statement against me when I had supported it with a great example of my work ethic and capabilities. The second point had more to do with misinformation on the part of my recruiter than it was a reflection of me. The third point was a scenario they either recalled or interpreted incorrectly and the fourth point was a completely false statement on their part. I have no idea how they came up with the last point and it boarders on slander. By no means did I ever say that and it's completely false! !! I wrote an email to my recruiter in response providing my take on each point made. My goal wasn't to change anyone's mind, but to clarify the inaccuracy of World Vision's comments, especially the last one. I expect no apology, but at least I was able to clarify things. I can't say this is a bad organization because everyone I met was so sincerely nice, however my experience was ultimately negative. I can't even say that I wouldn't recommend joining their team since it would be nice to work with such positive people and it's rated one of the most family-friendly companies in the country. I prayed a lot in the two weeks after the second interview and realized that sometimes the answer to prayer is closure.
