The selection process begins with a CV shortlisting phase, where applicants are evaluated based on their academic background, technical skills, and relevant experience. Shortlisted candidates are then invited for an interview with the team. The interview typically includes general questions about the candidate's CV, in-depth discussions on key technical concepts, and problem-solving scenarios. Candidates are also assessed on their communication skills, clarity of thought, and overall understanding of the field. The process aims to gauge both technical competence and the ability to work collaboratively within a team environment
I had an initial video interview with the Head of Growth. The interview was simple and informal, he explained the company and what they were looking for. At the end of the interview he told me that he would send me an email to let me know some dates for the next step. He disappeared, no one replied to my emails anymore, I was ghosted. A huge red flag. Avoid at all costs
Candidatei-me de outra forma. Fiz uma entrevista na empresa Aktiia.
Entrevista
A long process with several meetings and a lot of lengthy questions on their side without a direction of where it's going. An unclear interview process that's not really defined. No salary information - a big red flag. Another red flag - when they ask you how you can adapt to their company. What about the candidate/employee experience? Is there any consideration here??
Talking to multiple people for some time, taking time away from the candidate and not having a lot of empathy for the candidate's experience with no urgency and no communication of timings and or salary information. Hiring team - not aligned. Timezones are based in the EU and there's not a lot of information about how this works, as they have different team members in different time zones and no confirmation about whether it's a requirement/deal breaker as it's not on their job spec either. Some people are on different timezones and they don't do EU hours, so it's not consistent and or clear.
You have to do a homework assignment and go through more rounds of interviews - ie more than 5, which makes you wonder whether they know what they are looking for. You follow up to who you think is the person who is hiring and then don't hear back from that person, so you have to keep following up which again, goes back to a poor candidate experience. You follow up and get ghosted. They say they will get back to you with the information that they don't have and the next thing you know, you get a generic email saying that you were basically rejected. They say that it's important to lead by example, if this is the case and they don't back to their candidates with basic information that has been asked, what example are you setting?
