I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Taboola (New York, NY)
Interview
A current employee referred me for this role, which eventually (after a couple efforts by the employee) landed me a phone screen with a recruiter in New York. The screen seemingly went great –– it was very conversational and I felt I was able to execute great answers to all background questions.
However, I was completely ghosted by the recruiter from there, without so much as a response to my follow-up email, or the follow-up to my follow-up. The employee later indicated that this type of "no response" tactic has happened on several occasions.
I hope for future candidates that this company respects their time and effort much more than they did for me.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Background oriented –– what did you do in your last role, describe what you can bring to this particular position, etc.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Taboola (São Paulo, São Paulo) in Jan 2017
Interview
The interview process took almost three months. Throughout the process I had to speak with 6 people from account managers to VP. The entire process was very interesting and did not have any bad surprises. After my last interview the recruiter mentioned I was the only candidate who had made it this far and she would be scheduling an interview with the CEO. A week later, I received and email saying that I was no longer being considered for the position because I did not have much time of experience as an AM. According to the recruiter, they were looking for a senior AM because the new employee would responde remotely to the manager located in NYC. Come on, they receive my resume with all information they needed. If I did not have years of experience, they should not have made me go through all these process.
