Behavioral Case Presentation
Recruiter reached out on Linkedin, saying my profile was inspiring and I was a great fit. Had a short call with the Recruiter. Then, an interview with the previous Country Manager for the market I was applying to. We had a long chat where I responded to situational questions he wrote down. After that, I got home tasks. The tasks were time-consuming: a full plan for Bolt Food's launch in a European or African capital, a P&L for the first year, and a Business Strategy for the market if I got the role. I spent 3 days on it, using public info and making assumptions for missing details. Then, I got a template rejection from the Recruiter saying my analytical skills weren't deep enough for daily operational challenges, which is BS given I later found out the role's budget was 2.5x less than I expected. It makes you wonder why they even started the process if the recruiter knew the budget from the first interview.

Behavioral
It was a 3 stage process that took at least 3 hours of call time. I spoke with the recruiter, the hiring manager, and the CEO. It started with a basic call with the recruiter, then I moved on to speak with the hiring manager to see if I was a culture fit.

Behavioral Case Technical
It started with an HR interview, pretty basic and high-level. After that, they sent over a business case which I had about a week to complete. It was a bit strange since it was only the second filter and they were already asking for a business case. The business case was a big undertaking, basically requiring me to map out the entire market entry strategy, including market research, supply chain, financials, legal aspects, and detailed operations. It also included a full year's budget with investments and the necessary organization structure with job descriptions. I felt it was excessive and possibly them trying to get free work, but I had the time, so I did it (took 25 hours). Then I had the interview with the hiring manager. It seemed like he hadn't thoroughly reviewed the business case and started asking detailed questions, almost like he was seeking 'free consultancy' because he lacked the competence for the role. We didn't really click during the interview, and I wasn't selected to move forward.
