Recruiter screen, the recruiter emailed confirming a time and called me 15m earlier than the agreed time. She got right into the call without asking if it was still a good time to chat, I could clearly tell that she wasn’t experienced. She asked me if I knew about Affirm and I mentioned that I do and that I’d known about them a while and have been interested in the company. She proceeded to ask me about my career after which she told me about the role and we both agreed it was a good match. I asked a few questions and she said that she would follow up after a chat with the hiring manager. The call concluded in 15m. This was the quickest recruiter screen I’ve had and didn’t even feel like she was trying. Next day I got an email that they are going with other candidates. Just ridiculous.

The process was well organized and the steps clearly communicated. It consisted on an initial screening with the recruiter, followed by a meeting with the hiring manager. After that, a design review meeting with another manager to work together on designing a suggested system/app. These were all remote sessions. That’s where my process stoped but if moving forward, my understanding is that next would be a face to face meeting in California head quarter.
