Under the guise of a real interview, I sat with an AI bot that had a poor accent and no text appeared on the screen. Numerous times during the Deel event I asked about US states they would not be hiring from. No one answered. Folks on LinkedIn however told me they were not hiring from my state. This should have been disclosed before I bothered wasting my time on this silly event which was all done to break a stupid record.
The SDR interview process at Deel appeared highly organized at first, but the actual interaction felt biased and inconsistent. I had the impression that appearance and personal perception influenced the interviewer's attitude more than qualifications or experience. Once they seemed uninterested, the discussion shifted toward unnecessary questions with very little real engagement.
A professional interview should make candidates feel evaluated on their skills, not on subjective impressions.
Very lengthy process and took from Jan to Mar. However, I get a response back fast, so that's something I appreciate. I started with a recruiter round -> hiring manager-> Role play+ presentation -> Regional Manager ->Culture Fit
Hiring team not actively engaged or positive
Hiring manager didn’t describe the team or company culture
Didn’t try to sell
Made me feel like overall vibe isn’t good there
Virtually no benefits outside of remote working
