If you're interested in Marketing at Misen, please apply soon. Week 1 of 2 for new applications is almost over!
Week 1 hiring recap / update for Director of Marketing / VP of Marketing: Insane amounts of talent in our funnel and the competition is real. I could hire any one of 10 candidates today (only 4 full days in) and Misen will do great. While our main focus is finding the best candidate for the role in the next 5 business days, I’m especially pleased with the positive responses (98%!) from my rejection emails. 348 applicants since 6/10 39 new 89 (25% of total) still in consideration 26 (22% of consideration) invited for 15 min chat 25 (96% of invited) completed 15 min interview 194 rejected For candidates: If you haven't heard from me yet, you will today or tomorrow, which is yes, Saturday. Many HR folks have told me over the years to schedule those replies for 9AM Monday. As a candidate, do you want to wait until the next business day or hear feedback as soon as it’s ready? Yep, me too. My team doesn’t get weekend emails from me, but candidates sure will. Next Steps: 1) Complete review of consideration candidates and invite those that pass to 15 min chats. 2) Review 15 min chats (I owe you all responses!) and move top candidates to a 30 min nerd-out session Monday - Wednesday. I’m traveling for work Tuesday - Thursday so this can only be when I’m at a desk. I believe interviewing anyone when not seated and focused is disrespectful. What we’ve done right: Review every application myself and respond personally to every applicant. There’s 2 wins here: 1) By reading every application myself, I’m confident we’re getting our selection process right. I know many applicants won’t agree with me - us marketers are a confident bunch - but our funnel is so packed with talent and it’s tough competition. 2) Out of 194 rejection emails I have sent, 113 replied back thanking me for the feedback and/or the quick response. 2 responses were negative but I never expect this to be 0. This is why we put in the time during hiring weeks. It’s what I would want as a candidate, it’s the right thing to do, and even though they didn’t get the job, we have 100+ more Misen fans now. What we could have done better: 1) Get back to candidates quicker. Hiring is unfortunately not the only critical thing on my plate this week, and these would look far better if that was the case. ~25 got an answer in 24 hours ~50 got an answer in 48 hours 100% will get an answer in 6 days 2) I missed an interview! Not sure what happend but it never made it to my calendar. Not blaming you Ashby :) If you have feedback, let me have it! 😶

This is inspiring for those looking and for all brands and their struggle with transparency. Goodonya!! 👍🏻
The best marketing Misen can have is word of mouth and a positive customer experience. I bought 3 pans which I followed the seasoning instructions and cooked in them only a few times, they have now rusted and produce a noxious smell when cooking. Contacting your customer service was useless as they argued they are not defective. If I can not use them what else would you call them. I asked for an exchange and all I was offered was a $25 gift card, after spending $272.46 on your products. Very disappointed with your company.
