4 week process, from application submission to onsite.
1 week lapse from application submission online to email notification for phone screen.
After the phone screen you have 5 business days to complete a skills test, which are three scenarios you encounter in the role. This tests your understanding of the company's products, mission, and your writing abilities.
2 weeks for the onsite to be scheduled/confirmed (names of interviewers and duration of sessions are not provided).
While onsite I was asked to fill out a physical paper application and NDA. A packet with more information about the company's history, products, benefits is provided (the benefits information does not detail plan information or which carriers are used). All questions were relevant. I was asked "How would your friends describe you?" "What appeals most to you about Recruiting?" "Tell me about your event planning experience". Everything that you are asked during the first session will be asked again during the 2nd and 3rd sessions. At the end of the interview you will be toured around both floors of the building. The HM will ask about your thoughts on the role/company and then escort you out. I was there for approximately 3 hours.
Overall I thought the recruiting team was pleasant, but was very disappointed in the approach to the comp discussion. I encourage IXL to do some bench marking as the company expands. For comparable roles in the SF Bay area I have not since encountered any objections to my asking salary (see "Advice to other candidates" section below for details).
