Stop misleading their clients and candidates through misleading and defective interview processes.

Review from Engineering Dept

Leadership need to get better at appreciating their interviewing team as they are the ones creating the business value

Review from Engineering Dept

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Compensation Reviews

They get a lot of unpaid work done by the new hires in the onboarding process whereby a candidate may need to spend many hours or even days going through their documentation and none of it is paid for. Even after that, there is no guarantee of any amount of work you may or may not get.

Review from Engineering Dept

The fact interviewers get paid the same regardless of their experience and skills set is a joke (their senior interviewer title does not make any sense). There is no sharing of equity and other benefits. interviewers are expected to perform like employees while being paid as contractors.

Review from Engineering Dept

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

Team Reviews

There aren't any co-workers as such because it's an on-demand interview platform.

Review from Engineering Dept

The fact everyone works remotely was contractors means there are no social interactions with other people

Review from Engineering Dept

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Outlook Reviews

The company is attempting to get the work done through contracting interview engineers for cheap, without sufficient training, and hence needs to fix its business practices. Both - the candidates and the hiring clients get a sub par experience.

Review from Engineering Dept

They need to pick a direction for their interviewing team. They either have a loyal fully committed and onboarded interviewing team or they continue trying to do this with contractors who can't meet their expectations while still earning an acceptable wage
