Unprofessional Hiring Process I was contacted by a recruiter from Squadio on LinkedIn, who described their hiring process as "short and fun," promising to complete it within three working days. The steps outlined were: Online exploratory call (10 minutes) Technical task (5 minutes) Technical interview (30 minutes) Client interview (45 minutes, online) I had the initial call, after which I received an email assignment with a three-day deadline. Contrary to what was mentioned, the task took much more than five minutes—I had to cancel my weekend plans and sacrifice sleep to complete a 25-page document. After submitting the assignment, I asked the recruiter when I could expect feedback. Her response was a curt "well received, thanks." I followed up again to inquire about the next steps, but she ignored my email. Two weeks later, I received a generic rejection email, and I seriously doubt they even reviewed my submission. When I requested feedback, I received no response. This experience made it clear that this company does not respect candidates' time or efforts.

The process of the interview started with a quick HR interview and another technical interview, then I got an acceptance. The acceptance means I'm in the pool of freelancers to suggest for any new job opportunity. When there was an opportunity, I had another interview with the client.
