Entrevista
I had applied online months ago and just got an email recently that they were interested in moving forward with a quick phone interview. I scheduled a phone interview for a day or two after that and it lasted about seven minutes. Seems like the recruiter just wanted to make sure I was capable of speaking as she asked me nothing related to my job or the position of curriculum designer. Before she even hung up with me she told me I would receive another email from a different recruiter about scheduling my next interview which I thought was odd considering she barely knew anything about me aside from what was on my resume. I completed the next interview the following week with a curriculum design team member. He seemed nervous and basically said every answer I gave was great (even though I knew they weren’t all great). This was a much more detailed interview about the website and how I would work on it. Following that interview, I heard back later that evening that I was moving on to the take home test portion of the interview process. Like the many before me, I spent hours completing this assignment and felt super confident when I turned it in. I waited 5 days, sent a follow up email, and then heard back the next day that I wasn’t moving forward. When I asked for feedback for how I could improve for future opportunities, I was told “that’s against company policy” and I was angry. Sadly, like everyone else has said, it seems like a scheme to get people to do work for the website without the intent to actual hire a new candidate. I was hoping for the best, but was left with the same experience as everyone else…putting in a ton of work for free.

I had a phone interview and was told I was going on to the second step. This was a take-home test that was sent immediately after the phone interview. I was told that after I completed the test, I would have a phone interview with a math team to discuss my responses. o this. I had 1 week to complete this and submitted it in less than a week. I spent long hours doing the tasks to ensure a quality product. I received an email early the next morning after the submission that this was the end of the road for my interview and that they decided to go a different route. I requested feedback and was told that unfortunately information on their interview evaluations could not be shared. The job is still posted online as actively recruiting. (April 2024). This is a total waste of time and I question what is being done with all the answers on candidates' take-home tests.

First you go through a Phone screening with the recruiter. Then you have a conversation with a curriculum designer and you are asked math questions. Then you must complete a performance task.

This company’s “interviews” are a straight up SCAM to solicit free content from job seekers. First HR screening was a huge red flag. It took less than 5 minutes and the recruiter was just describing the interview process to me. She did not ask me one single question. I thought it was super odd that during my “screening,” the interviewer didn’t care to learn about my experience or why I applied. It was super rushed and just seemed like a formality. Within 5 mins of hanging up, she emailed me with the next step of the process, which was to schedule a 30 min phone interview with someone. The 30 min phone conversation was also very odd. It was unclear what his position was in relation to the role (it wasn’t the hiring manager) or who this person was —he only gave his first name (and again at the end, when I asked for his name he only said his first name which was a nickname). I think they do this to avoid being looked up on LinkedIn. This interview asked some questions about my experience but he seemed very rushed as well and super awkward. I was then asked to complete a SUPER extensive and long task. It asked you to write SO MANY questions, review some, provide feedback, and write answer explanations. It took me hours and hours and hours to complete. Mind you, I have 10 years of assessment writing experience from well-renowned curriculum publishers and high-stakes assessment organizations. I was given a template response from the recruiter saying I would not be moving forward. Now for the big reveal —this is the SECOND time this exact thing happened to me. I interviewed for a similar role a few years ago. I thought that maybe the first time, I didn’t submit a strong enough task. That’s why I spent a significant time on the task this second time around. But no, it is clear, especially after reading other interview reviews on Glassdoor, that IXL Learning is taking free labor from its interviewees and using it as their own intellectual property. It’s absolutely disgusting. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!!! This company should be reported for such terrible practices. I can’t believe they’re still getting away with this.

They force you to do a 14-task long “take-home test,” but this is just to exploit you for free labor.
