BELAY Virtual Assistant interview questions

The screening call with BELAY was a disappointing experience. The interviewer seemed uninterested and lacked warmth, making the conversation feel more like a formality than an opportunity to genuinely connect. There was a noticeable lack of enthusiasm, and it felt as though the interviewer had little desire to conduct the interview, which left a negative impression and raised concerns about the overall company culture.

I pass through the lengthy process and get to the video in-person interview stage with the talent specialist. I did well in the interview and the talent specialist even started talking about topics related to the onboarding process. Then she is wrapping up the interview. She forgot I mentioned I will ask my questions at the end of the interview. So I asked if I can ask some questions. The questions are very general and common. Yet she literally judged me for keeping her longer as if I am too eager. Then the whole dynamics changed. She even rolled her eyes after answering the questions. What is part of a professional procedure becomes something not right in her eyes. This made me lose the candidacy, at no fault on my end. Despite I have a lot to offer for the company and its clients, this doesn’t seem to matter to the interviewer. Me asking common questions as a typical step is viewed as bothersome. It’s unfortunate when personal bias might cloud what should be an objective and supportive process. I would suggest the company provide additional training for its recruitment team to help manage personal issues like this and maintain professionalism, especially in high-stake interactions like interviews. Constructive feedback like this is crucial to ensuring future candidates have a more consistent and fair experience. You are not only wasting both parties’ time, you also lost a valuable contractor who could help your company a lot.
