PATH Program Manager interview questions

The interviews themselves were fairly easy. I think they had another candidate in mind for the position but they needed to interview a certain amount of people in order to "compete" the job. I've been on the other end of those interviews, interviewing people who I knew had no real chance at getting the job. Sometimes that's just how it is. My issue was that they required 4 references beforehand, including 2(!) former supervisors. The references themselves had to go to an online system and fill out a form, PATH couldn't be bothered to do the reference checking themselves. It was fairly dehumanizing to have to go to a former boss and ask them to spent their time filling out information in a goofy third party system on my behalf. I have never been asked to do this before or since in the hundreds of jobs I have applied for in my lifetime. Based on this experience I will never apply to Path again, and I would encourage Path HR to take a hard look at their recruiting and hiring procedures.

Very convoluted process- particularly for Africa-based positions. 30-min HR screening interview followed by 2 panel interviews with hiring team. Reference checking is done prior to conducting a final interview. If you are successful, background screening with US-based company takes place but you might also be required to submit additional documents (+ documents you provided during the background screening process) depending on country HR requirements.
