Candidatei-me online. Fui entrevistado pela Homeroom (New York, NY) em fev. de 2021
Entrevista
Few rounds of interviews. Last with the CEO who seemed disinterred and not engaged. Very generic questioning - wasnt a pleasant experience. I felt that there were no realistic chance I was even being considered
Candidatei-me por meio de recrutador(a). O processo levou 1 semana. Fui entrevistado pela Homeroom em set. de 2022
Entrevista
Cold message from the CEO with a calendly link saying they were interested. Signed up for the next week, asked where to send my resume & portfolio, heard nothing. The interviewer was 10 min late, had not looked over my information, shared financial details of the company (raw data), the fact that the majority of their help comes from digital teams in Argentina and overseas in Asia and personal photos of his vacation.
He asked no questions about how I could help the company. At the end of the interview he shared a Google Doc with "take home questions" which were completely spec work of upcoming projects. I'm a consultant and I would estimate this doc represented $5-20K of work.
I wrote back before the questions were due to ask if I could share some work I've already done that spoke to my qualifications, heard nothing. Followed up a week later, nothing.
Upon review, it looks like they've been "hiring for" this position for at least a few months. Especially given that they asked questions like "Share a list of reporters that you would target to pick us up. What would be your target KPIs?" I would warn any true professional away from this headache.

Comms / PR / SEO is very important for HomeRoom. We recently raised a seed round but have not shared it with the world yet.

We have a conference where our CEO is presenting at. We want to use this event to bring in potential buyers for HomeRoom. What could we do at this event to drive up demand for investing in HomeRoom properties? We are an early stage startup so the goal is to not spend too much money.

I had an interview that was scheduled to last for 15-30 minutes and we went a whole 1.5 hrs. It was good conversation with both co-founders. They asked some challenging questions here and there but for the most part it was easy.
