I have 10+ years of experience as an EA and was headhunted via LinkedIn. I had an initial conversation within a couple of days. The recruiter interviewing me was robotic and I felt as though she wasn't listening to a word I was saying since her AI was taking notes and recording. I asked probing questions but her responses were very surface level. Despite that, she said that I could be a good fit and would send me a trial project to complete. After opening up the email I was honestly baffled. It was not one but FIVE separate projects which would have taken HOURS of my time. Not something that I was willing to do after only one initial interview and still not having a good idea about the job itself (they didn't have a job description available) or the executive I would be supporting.

The interview process was efficient and thorough, and the team was proactively communicating the next steps. I felt extremely comfortable throughout the process. There were multiple calls and a take-home assignment, but everything was clearly communicated beforehand and I was given multiple opportunities to reach the team and ask questions.
