First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at BELAY.
Virtual Assistant
I went through a long process and reached the video interview with the talent specialist. I felt it went well, and she even started discussing onboarding. As she was concluding, she seemed to forget I had questions. I asked if I could ask them, but she reacted negatively, as if I were too eager, and even rolled her eyes. This shift in her demeanor made me realize I wouldn't get the job, through no fault of my own. Despite my qualifications, my asking standard questions was seen as a problem. It's a shame when personal feelings interfere with a professional process. I suggest the company train its recruiters to manage personal issues and maintain professionalism, especially in interviews. Offering this feedback is important for a fairer candidate experience. You're wasting time and losing good contractors.

So you gotta do the general application, then send over your resume. After that, there's a one-way video thing where you record your answers, then a behavioral and skills assessment, and you'll have to submit a mock email. Next up is a Talent Recruit Interview, then the BELAY Orientation, apply to some job board requisitions, and finally, an interview with your Client Success Coordinator.
- What makes you want to work for BELAY?
Virtual Assistant
This interview process at BELAY is not like any other I've seen before. It's not just about sending in a resume and getting hired. It's a detailed and precise process that takes time to complete, so don't expect to just upload a file and be done. It's a multi-step, multi-dimensional process that takes about two weeks. I'd say it's 'Difficult' because it requires time, thought, and good organization. BELAY is very professional and expects a high standard throughout the process. With my background in HR and Psychology, I can honestly say this is the most thorough and effective hiring approach I've encountered.
