Complete waste of your time. I interviewed and spent hours working on assigned essay questions AND a freaking writing sample only to get ghosted and finally be told I didn't get the job only after I kept reaching out asking for an update. It should be criminal to waste an applicants time like that. So despicable.

FYI: NCQA's hiring process is on their website! Based on that, I think I followed a similar hiring process. I applied for the job at the end of August 2025 and a few days later, I did a screening call with a recruiter. The questions were simple, although it seemed like the recruiter was just reading the questions from a list (often repeating questions that I had already answered). A few days after that interview, I was asked to submit a writing sample. I heard back again within a few days and was asked to conduct a panel interview (I think that was the final round of their interview process). The panel interview was nothing crazy (although I did prepare for it a lot), just the usual behavioral and technical questions one would ask for the position. Unfortunately, I had to wait a month (middle October 2025) before I found out that I did not get the position (I did send follow-up emails weekly) and I think waiting that long for a response probably should have been my sign of "I did not get this job."
