Applied online. Was contacted by a HR representative about a week later for a 30-minute phone interview. After successfully navigating the phone screen, I was tasked with a 'project' equivalent to a homework assignment (involving aspects such as branding, messaging, and dissemination methods). After submitting my assignment along with a written project plan, I was asked to come onsite and meet with several managers and team members of the Communications Department. Prior to my interview I was provided with a detailed outline of what my day would look like - who I would be meeting with, for how long, as well as their specific role on the team. Everyone I met with was extremely nice and enthusiastic about the company. After approximately two weeks, I was asked to come back for another onsite interview with the director of the department. After the interview with the director, I met once again with the manager, shoring up any additional questions I had (at this point, I am thinking an offer may be on the horizon). Two more weeks go by, and I am contacted via email from the original HR phone screen employee who informs me that I have not been chosen for the position.
Although the company appears to be innovative, and the employees seem to enjoy their work, I thought this process tended to fall on the side of overkill. It would be one thing if the posting was for a position at the senior leadership or executive level, but a phone interview, project proposal, and three onsite interviews, for an assistant/associate level position seemed like a bit much. Especially given the fact that there were two or three candidates, asides from myself who made it through all these same stages, only to not receive an offer. It still strikes me as a waste of resources from both Domino's and the candidate's perspectives.
