- Applied online in January and I received an invite to complete an online assessment shortly after.
- I completed it the next day, devoting my time and energy into the timed translation/transcreation test.
- Then, other than an automatic 'Thanks for completing the assessment' reply, all that followed was SILENCE.
(I could not even find a contactable email address to reach out to any real HR person, as the whole process is done within their automatic-reply-only system.)
- After a full month of silence, only in early March, I received yet another automatic response saying 'we have decided not to take your application any further.'
Utterly disappointing from such a large company. Please respect any language professional who has taken the time and effort to complete a test by giving them a result and concrete feedback in a reasonable timeframe. Also appalling that there was no real human being to talk to and raise any issues with along the way.
Will never even think about applying for this company again. Maybe you should spend the time and money marketing how fun the work culture is on creating a more transparent and professional hiring process.

Timed online translation/transcreation assessment to be done in a specific platform.
I've applied via their website and did two rounds of interviews. The first one was with someone from the HR and then the second one with a stakeholder.
The first one, HR was late 15 minutes and started the meeting telling me the vacancy was not available anymore - they decided not to hire someone. But them they suggested I applied to a senior position... and I agreed.
They schedule the call in the middle of my vacations, and I connected from my phone. Had an okay interaction with the stakeholder for 1h or more, simple questions, nothing complex.
I understood this was a behaviour interview, as the person was not from my field.
They wrote me a couple of days later saying they wouldn't follow with my process, although I was a cultural fit - they wanted someone with "more experience in complex projects" with sounded absurd at that point, when they didn't evaluate it.
This plus the sloppiness of the whole process let me quite disappointed.

How do you leverage the difference between language A and language B?
During the appllication process, you need to take a translation test. If you pass, after the recruiter screening, there are two interviews: one with the team and the other with the hiring manager.
Candidatei-me online. O processo levou 4 semanas. Fui entrevistado pela Booking.com em out. de 2022
Entrevista
Informal interview, professional but friendly atmosphere. Communication was smooth, invitation via email, prompt responses, flexibility in setting the interview date. The process included a test and three rounds of interviews.
