Candidatei-me por meio de uma agência de recrutamento. Fui entrevistado pela Shakepay (Vancouver, BC) em fev. de 2026
Entrevista
A word of caution regarding Shakepay — they're known to proactively reach out to your LinkedIn contacts without your consent in order to gather backdoor references about you, bypassing the standard practice of asking candidates to provide their own references. They then use what they hear from those contacts to ask leading questions in your interviews, which can catch you off guard if you're not expecting it.
The recruiter immediately shut down the interview after asking about interest in crypto. Didn’t even get into my actual professional background further. I think they just want to cult hire, not interested in hiring people with beginner knowledge even if the job itself doesn’t require strong knowledge of it. I had even downloaded the app prior to the interview and was ready to talk about what fraud threats could emerge from it. But didn’t even get a chance. Later got ghosted via email and hit with an auto rejection. In all my years working in startups never experienced such a cold, culty reaction in an interview, what a strange place.
Everything went well until the last round when a guy came in grumpy and clearly didnt know frontend development well enough. He cut me off and didn’t want to spend time in the interview
