I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Deel (Amsterdam) in May 2025
Interview
The interview process was pretty standard:
1st round: Screening with the recruiter
2nd round: Conversation with the hiring manager & a team member
3rd round: 2 mock calls, 1 inbound, 1 outbound.
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
