I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Conference Board (New York, NY) in Mar 2026
Interview
Interview process was rigorous and thorough with 7 rounds and they move fast if you're a top candidate. Process included recruiter, hiring manager, CHRO (it was interesting they brought in CHRO earlier in the process as opposed to in the end), cross-functional teams, direct reports, and the business unit chief. From 1st interview to offer, it took 2 weeks.
I interviewed at The Conference Board (New York, NY)
Interview
Starts with a screening call, then 2-3 virtual interviews before you're invited in to meet a number of team members. Very conversational - I never felt that they were asking a trick question. They were extraordinarily responsive and transparent, and I was given very positive feedback. A few people made comments that led me to believe that I was poised to get the job. After the in-person, there was radio silence for weeks without any indication of next steps. I sent polite emails to HR asking if there was a timeline, but I was not given a sufficient response. After about a month, I was emailed a dispassionate rejection. I was desperate for work at the time, so I emailed back asking if I could be considered for the Associate position. An HR representative called me to apologize profusely that I was only given an email and not a call to issue the rejection, and insisted that they would call me the next day about the Associate position, which she said I had a great chance at getting. Weeks went by again without hearing anything from them. Eventually, I was sent another email saying that they had filled the position. I politely emailed asking for feedback, and was never given a response. The whole process was a massive blow to my morale. This was undoubtedly the emotional low point of what was an extremely long and taxing job search.
Thank you for sharing your experience. We appreciate your feedback and regret that our post interview communication fell short. Delayed updates and missed follow ups are not the experience we intend to provide. Your feedback has been shared internally as we continue improving our candidate experience.
Great people who aren't looking for scripted questions, genuinely want to have a conversation and dialogue about what you care about. First round and second round are pretty quick turnaround, not too much of a delay. Responsive team.
