Very efficient process, got interviewed by a panel of three members. It was a teams online interview and the questions asked in the interview was very relevant to the role.

Take me through the process of how you would cook a paella.
I applied online. I interviewed at Eduvos (Pretoria, Gauteng) in May 2024

Chilled and relaxed, they made me comfortable and welcomed. They made it easy for me to answer questions. And everything was just straight to the point and they gave me a chance to discuss and answer.

Question 1
Tell us about yourself, why you applied for this position?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Eduvos (Cape Town)
Interview
The interview process itself was good, and I left each interview feeling excited about the role and the company. The issues started after I submitted my design test and psychometric test. The design test was extremely involved, which I had no problem with, even though it was unpaid. What really upset me was that they went completely quiet afterward. There was not a single word from them, not even an acknowledgment that they had received my work, which I spent hours and hours on.
What made it worse was that after about a month I saw the same job posted again. I sent it to the recruiter I was working with and said that I assumed I had been declined. He promised to get back to me with more information, but I never heard anything. Weeks later, actually more than a month later, I was contacted by the external recruiter who asked if I was still interested. He explained that someone in HR had been a roadblock and that the company was still very keen on me. I sent him my payslips and the other relevant information, and then there was radio silence again.
A few weeks passed and I saw the job posted again. That was the last straw for me. I messaged the recruiter and said that I was extremely disappointed in the entire experience, especially the lack of feedback after putting in hours of work. I also let him know that with this in mind I was withdrawing my application completely and that they did not need to consider me for this role in the future or for any other roles at the company going forward.
