I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Born Primitive (Virginia Beach, VA) in Dec 2025
Interview
I applied online and was contacted via email to set up a "phone screen", In my opinion this was not a phone screen, it was an interview and the skills that they were looking for did not match up to the announcement. In the announcement it did not state that employee relations experience was a requirement, or that they were looking for an expert in that area, during the phone screen she said they needed someone who would be the main POC for employee relations and would not need any training in that area and that the person would be sitting in a different location away from the main HQ location subject to different hours with no remote capabilities like the other employees, even though the announcement states "optional remote work on Fridays". I felt the announcement was deceptive. I never received a notice that the position had been filled and was ghosted after the phone screen.

Interview
No screening call or Team interview. They immediately request an on-site interview, go over the basics of the role, and do not mention anything about salary. There was not a lot of knowledge of continuous improvement methodologies on the interviewing panels side, and the team was relatively new. They provided a canned rejection email, and do not reply to emails requesting additional feedback. As a relatively new business with a lot of competition, they should be leaning on those more knowledgeable in methodologies that will actually help them, not focusing on getting someone in for the lowest salary.
In short, another company that does not respect your time or provide valuable feedback and is looking for the lowest bidder.
