I was very positive about the company at the start, but lost this enthusiasm along the way. The hiring process was too long, especially for an SDR role. This doesn't bode well when applying at a company that is all about hiring efficiency and great work-life balance. The application process was 5 stages: - Interview with recruiter - Task: show how you research a company + create an email + create a video - Interview with a hiring manager and a team member - Interview with another team member - Interview with the sales director. I have a fulltime job and don't want to bet on one horse, so had another job application ongoing next to the one at Deel. I had to take time off during work hours for the interviews and did the task in my personal time. After the task, I got very good feedback and had expected Deel to have an understanding of how I research a company and prospect but in the interviews I was asked to explain this again and again — not very efficient. A job application is not a test of a candidate's endurance, it is to see whether someone is enthusiastic, can do the job and can deal with obstacles in that job! A company should not need this many steps to assess that, and from my side, I already had a good idea of Deel after 2 interviews as beforehand I had done plenty of research on the company and was also already familiar with the product. Lastly, from what was said in one of the interviews I got the notion that that Deel puts a large number of candidates through all the 5 stages of the application process for each individual vacancy, instead of narrowing it down at each step until there are 2-3 candidates left to pick from. This would mean that lot of people will waste their valuable time as the chances of getting hired are still low after having completed the final stage.
