I applied online. The application process was tedious, they requested an unofficial social audit and mini project -- all unpaid -- and it was a sneaky way to take candidates' creative ideas. I was overqualified for the role I applied to but received a rejection email 20 minutes after submitting my application (not enough time to review all the requested documents/links they had me put together) because my salary requirement was at the top of their range and they wanted someone with "more" editing experience. I've been editing content for years, so this was really about the compensation. They didn't want to pay someone at the top of their offered range. If they can't afford that salary, it should not have been listed as an option. A complete waste of time and they positioned themselves to steal candidates' great ideas in one fair swoop. Also a company that seriously lacks diversity. Will never apply to The Everygirl or any affiliated brands again.

Met with HR the same week they reached out and answered questions well. HR seemed interested but I wasn’t asked for a second interview as they were filling the role urgently.
