goFLUENT Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process was straightforward yet professional. My first interview was mainly a technical check to ensure my equipment was working properly, and I was asked a few simple questions, such as how I would explain the concept of a gerund to a learner who is not at a high level. After passing this stage, I had a second interview with my future manager, which was truly remarkable. He left a lasting impression on me - professional, kind, open, realistic, yet very friendly. During the interview, we discussed my experience, and I particularly enjoyed the thought-provoking questions. For example, he asked how I would handle a situation where a learner wants to focus on something like phrasal verbs, but clearly struggles with another area, such as grammar. I really appreciated the depth and relevance of these questions - they showed me that the company values both teaching skill and professional judgment. Overall, the process felt supportive, engaging, and reflective of the company’s professional yet friendly culture.

After applying for several jobs that seemed like a good fit, I didn't hear back for weeks, which felt like a bad sign. Then, I finally spoke to a recruiter, named P, but she didn't seem to know much about the role or what it involved. She gave really vague answers and seemed unprepared, making it hard to talk about how my skills could help the company. She said she'd refer me to another job that was a better fit, but it turned out that job didn't even exist or wasn't open, which she could have easily checked. The whole experience lacked communication, preparation, and professionalism, leaving a really bad impression. Given how disorganized and careless it was, I'd tell others to think twice before applying because the recruiting team doesn't seem to be able to represent the company well or value candidates' time.

I went through 3 interviews: first with HR, then a team leader, and lastly a manager. Each interview was 30 minutes long. It felt like they didn't read my CV or were trying to trick me, as they all asked me to talk about my past experience, basically repeating what was on my CV. Coordination was poor. After the interviews, they made me complete a document with questions about job situations, and they tried to avoid discussing salary because it's the lowest in the company. They said they'd let me know their decision, but weeks have passed and they've gone silent. It would have been fine if they just rejected me, but after 3 interviews and a test, it feels very disrespectful.

I went through a really long online application for this role which included seven interviews and a case study. First, I had an initial phone call with HR. Then, a 30-minute interview with HR where we talked about the company and the role. After that, I had a 45-minute call with the team lead to go deeper into the role and how the team works. The next step was a case study where I had to create a QBR presentation for a made-up client. This was followed by a 30-minute roleplay call to present and defend my case study. Then, there was a 30-minute call with someone from the Sales Department, which wasn't a great experience; they said the company needed to make people come to the office because offices are expensive, asked why I spoke good English, and made some negative comments about my country. Following that, I had an office visit that lasted 30 minutes, and then a second 30-minute office visit. Finally, I had a last phone call with HR to talk about salary expectations, but they told me they couldn't meet my desired salary. I kept asking about salary bands throughout the process, but they always said they needed budget confirmation, and I kept stating my salary expectations. In the end, I got an email saying they decided not to hire anyone for the team. Gofluent says it offers a 'hybrid' mode, but it's not really true; they want you in the office 4 days a week. And for the first three months, you have to go every day, only to be stuck in online meetings.
