I applied online. I interviewed at BairesDev (Toronto, ON) in May 2023
Interview
I had previously successfully completed a series of tests prior to being called for an interview. The interviewer was very well prepared and gave an excellent overview of the company and culture. BairesDev is growing at an extremely high rate. The culture described is what fits me well: flexible, collaborative, supportive, accountable and development oriented. The fact that the company is a 100% remote is just one more positive in a long list.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Okay refer to question above, I am still in the interview process but there was no selection for that. In terms of interview questions, they are largely logic and basic math oriented to see whether you can think, probe and relate on your feet. I think they want to see how you approach things in real time. It was fun.
Your feedback on our interview is greatly appreciated! We aim to create a positive and constructive experience for all candidates. Thank you for sharing your insights. This inspires us to keep refining our approach.
Like the previous interviews you've seen, none of the assesments have anything to do with Sales, your process or how you approach closing deals. This is high school math and logic based questions to make you jump through hoops to get to a later stage interview. Here's the irony of all this, they're a nearshore staffing solution, so you'd think that they would know how to place people based on their qualifications and strengths, but clearly, they make everyone jump through these ridiculous hoops that some C-suite leader who probably hasn't sold anything in a long time is likely mandating. Another example of an organization led by those who rest on their laurels.

I applied online. I interviewed at BairesDev (Toronto, ON) in Jul 2022
Interview
First of all, I have no clue if I will receive an offer and unsure if I want one.
As everyone else mentions here, there are skill-matching questions they will send you to complete. I can imagine SOME of these are relevant to SOME jobs but, 95% are totally and completely irrelevant to a sales or account management position. They ask everyone the same questions and, as someone who has been both interviewer and interviewee, these quizzes are a complete waste of time, BairesDev clients are likely missing out on highly skilled workers. Even their English quiz is sub-par.
Also...total lack of consideration for those who have applied. I emailed for a follow up on any next steps and where I am at in their grand scheme of hiring, they could not be bothered to respond. I found these very insulting and unprofessional after I wasted over half a day answering their quizzes. Shame on you BairesDev.
