Flash Interview Questions
& Process

I participated in a selection process for a position advertised as mid-level. However, during the stages, the actual seniority of the position — which was for a junior level — was only clarified later. Despite the cordial and professional service from the team, I felt there was a lack of clearer alignment from the beginning to avoid mistaken expectations. I suggest that, in addition to the spoken interview, practical tests be applied to more accurately assess the technical level of the candidates, as seniority goes beyond good communication. I see potential in the company and believe that, with these adjustments, the selection process can be even more transparent and assertive for everyone involved.

Fui contatado pelo time de RH que gostou do meu currículo. Expliquei que estava bem empregado mas aceitei conversar. O papo com o RH foi ok. Em seguida, fui convidado para uma conversa com a liderança da área. Essa foi uma das piores entrevistas que já tive. Eles foram muito arrogantes, mesmo tendo me procurado. Parecia que a entrevista era para coletar minhas opiniões e experiência. Pouco explicaram sobre a empresa e os desafios. Se a entrevista foi assim, imagina o dia a dia. Não recomendo.

The interview process started with an HR call, which was very casual, but they never disclosed the salary. Then, there was a more technical interview with a supervisor who seemed to be following a script and not really engaging with my answers. After that, a management interview focused on knowledge of customer service platforms like HubSpot. What really upset me was that they initially said there were 12 openings, but then announced the positions were frozen right after the interviews. It's frustrating, though these things happen, but freezing so many immediate openings felt strange. The day after they announced the freeze, one of the interviewers posted a job for the same role on LinkedIn. If I wasn't selected, why say the positions were frozen? It leads to frustration because no feedback was given on my rejection and it creates false hope for the positions being unfrozen.

Fui contatado no LinkedIn por alguém do RH que era nova na empresa, recém-contratada. Tivemos uma conversa informal sobre minha vida pessoal, profissional e os requisitos da vaga. Foi mencionado que uma nova área estava sendo lançada e que eles estavam recrutando cerca de 13 pessoas para preenchimento rápido e início das operações. Prometeram me dar um retorno na semana seguinte, mas mesmo após eu cobrar pelo Whatsapp, a recrutadora leu a mensagem e não respondeu mais. Já se passaram cerca de 7 semanas sem qualquer retorno, o que achei desrespeitoso vindo de uma empresa que se diz tão inovadora e com um processo de experiência do candidato tão falho.
