First contact was a phone call to set up a phone screen. After the phone screen there was a couple week wait and then a call for a face-to-face. Just prior to this meeting was another call from the company helping to explain how the details of the interview. After the face-to-face interview, and being told I was being moved on to the next phase, there was silence for two weeks until the scheduler finally returned my messages ans explained that another candidate had been hired.

I've been interviewing to return to LexisNexis for years. There are many ways to go wrong in an interview (trust me) but, I finally got it right! The interview process was well organized and they told me what to expect along each step of the journey. First the recruiter did a basic screening. Next, was a zoom interview with two hiring managers. Then an interview with a manager and a vice president. By the end of this interview I felt confident I was going to get an offer. The recruiter (internal) called me 2 days later. The difference between this interview and previous, failed, interviews was my thinking. In earlier attempts to rejoin LexisNexis I was emotional. I conveyed my enthusiasm for working there but failed to successfully illustrate what I could bring to the table. In this interview I presented a business case, arguing that the skills I've used to be successful with my current employer would transfer nicely to the Client Manager position with LexisNexis. I had done research on the current solutions and was able to bring that into our conversations. I also did research with LinkedIn, on the people listed in the zoom invitation for my interviews. I studied for this interview and it payed off! I'm going to rate the interview difficulty as easy, but, that's only because I was well prepared and my heart is in the right place.
