I applied online. The process took 8 months. I interviewed at Forthea (Houston, TX) in Aug 2023
Interview
They build a bench, so they will actively interview you even if you’re not needed at the time. It’s a long process and can span up to 8 months. It is said that it’s the find the right fit for the company but it’s hard to tell because it usually seems more reactive to loss of an employee rather than proactive and strategic.

Question 1
They had me fill in a competency/skills test that you have 2 hours to complete.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3+ months. I interviewed at Forthea in Nov 2024
Interview
The interview process was roughly 11 weeks, with multiple reschedules.
- Screening with HR
-Meet the team
-Assessment and test
-Interview with VP of Ops
-Interview with CEO
The screening and team interviews were focused on the job itself. The interview with the higher up staff members were more get-to-know you, but the one with the CEO was strange. It focused on high school for whatever reason.
As for the assessment and test? The assessment is the usual personality test stuff - nothing groundbreaking there. The test was more along the lines of regurgitating Google's song and dance and then writing ad copy for a site with very little written content to work with.
Very easy and fast - staff was very sweet and you can tell that the company works closely together and has a good work culture. The interview process was standard like other jobs.
