I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at PR Hacker (Austin, TX) in Oct 2021
Interview
After 1st round, you will be asked to complete a 6-hour Assignment. It's not difficult, just your average tasks as a PR coordinator, but extreme "vetting" process or...free work if you ask me. I chose to not do the 6 hour assignment as EVERYONE said they had to do 18 hours of work before receiving an offer, if any offer at all.

Interview
As a coordinator, I went through four video interviews (recruiter, hr (at the time), PR director, and CEO). Naturally, none were scheduled on the same day.
At one point I was asked to complete a task. This task was in three parts, basic coordinator stuff- sweep, headlines, email to a client. However, it took six hours (your allotted time) and was unpaid. You will not be reimbursed for this time after being hired either.
