I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Well (NC) in Jul 2025
Interview
TL/DR This job posting was almost certainly a scam.
I applied for the Director Health Equity role with highly aligned credentials and had a positive and pleasant conversation with Max during which he described a role for which I was extremely qualified. He told me the next step in the process was to complete a "skills assessment", which would be reviewed by the Medical Director. The assessment consistent of 3 multi part questions requesting answers from and was similar to a graduate course level take home exam. I was very impressed with how pertinent the questions were to the job described, but a little concerned that they seemed like they were fishing for ideas that were not hypothetical and amounted to free work for Well. Nevertheless, I spent many hours crafting responses that I was very confident were outstanding. What I wrote amounted to a little over 7 pages of content. I submitted and heard nothing back. About two weeks later, I received an automated rejection email later stating "we have decided to move forward with other candidates whose qualifications are a slightly closer match for the specific needs of this role at this time." The next day, I saw the role had been reposted on LinkedIn as is continuing to accept applications.
I found the process suspicious and now after reading some of the other reviews on Glassdoor, I believe the job post is simply a scam to mine intellectual property from qualified candidates.

A new client was just reviewing onboarding into the app and noticed the following 2 questions.
Your contact there, Samuel, wrote the following in an email: “We are uncomfortable with the app asking about sex and gender. Can you please remove those questions? If not, we need a clear explanation of why this information is important — for the health of each individual, and for our employee population as a whole.”
Please provide a response to Samuel. (Max 500 words)
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Well (NC)
Interview
Had an interview the recruiter was late to, shared my background and expertise. Next step, they shared a Health Equity Skills/Knowledge Assessment (which it seems they were using to farm insights without actually hiring, so I kept it as high level as I could). A week after submitting and not hearing any response, I reached out and still did not get a response. Weeks later I got an automated message saying they moved forward with other candidates.
