Very extensive - 3 online interviews (screen, hiring manager, senior leader) and home activities designing sample comms, plans and work management. Also allowed for extensive questions afterwards, allowed me to ask what the role was like for those in the position I’m applying for.
I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Tilting Futures (Cape Town) in Feb 2025
Interview
he Tilting Futures interview process was an unexpectedly warm and engaging experience. From the very beginning, there was a sense of welcome that made the entire process feel less like an interrogation and more like a meaningful conversation.
The structure of the interviews—split into a general questioning round and a “vibe check” round—was particularly striking. The first round allowed for a discussion of qualifications, interests, and goals, while the second round focused on personal connection and cultural fit. This two-step approach felt intentional, demonstrating that Tilting Futures values not just competence, but also personality and alignment with their mission.
What stood out the most was the genuine effort the interviewers made to build a connection. There was no cold professionalism or rigid formality; instead, the interviewers created an atmosphere that felt supportive, engaging, and even enjoyable. This approach reflects an organizational culture that prioritizes both excellence and community—a rare but refreshing combination.
Quick response on application with clear communication from the company on every intended steps during the interview process. Do note it will probably take at least a couple of weeks to go through all the steps
