I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Deel (London, England) in Feb 2024
Interview
As a admirer of what Deel has done previously, I got excited when the recruiter reached out to me to schedule an initial conversation. However, my excitement turned into frustration over the time.
The recruiter was around 15 minutes late. And only for the few first seconds she looked at me, and looked at other screens/stuff during the rest of the interview.
It didn’t felt like we were having a conversation, it felt more like I was getting interrogated by an AI. She asked questions that I already mention the answer in my previous answers, so I knew she wasnt paying attention at all.
At the end of the interview, she was going to send me a case study and I was going to present it to the hiring manager. We even decided on a few time slots, but she was first going to confirm the best suiting one.
Guess what? Never received the case study. Never got an answer to my follow up emails. I wish she just told me she didnt want to interview me to begin with.
With a 5-10 minutes search on r/sales, LinkedIn, and here Glassdoor, I found out I wasn’t the only one.

Interview
Lengthy but was a great opportunity to learn and understand the scope of how the recruitment process is done. The opportunity to get to the final stage gave me more insight and will definitely help future applications.

Interview
I have only passed the first-round HR screening interview so far. The HR representative was extremely warm and amiable throughout the conversation. The entire interview process was well-structured, and all the questions raised were professional and pleasant. I had an overall wonderful experience, and I’m eagerly looking forward to advancing to the subsequent interview stages.

Question 1
What’s your view on AI, and how can AI assist you with your work?
Started off good, but ended up in disaster. Was the most messy interview process, no dates available. Was delayed and then ghosted and didn't even explain why I didn't get the job
