Came to know of the job opening through an existing employee so sent resume, was called for face - to - face interview. Had 6 of them over the course of 2 months and then was offered the role, negotiated the salary and accepted the same.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Spencer Stuart in Apr 2026
Interview
4 stages - virtual interview with CHRO 30 min, case study 1 week, virtual interview with Research Director 40-60min, face to face interview with Consultants.
Communication was good, I was informed at every stage about the progress and never left wondering about the status of my application. The CHRO made it a point to check in after the 3rd stage, which was a surprise but definitely boosted the candidate experience.
But I found some questions at the 3rd stage contentious and also wasn't given a chance to explain my case study response.
One interview - never heard anything again. I had an informal 30 minute phone interview around Thanksgiving and then was told I would hear one way or the other and crickets.
