Our hiring team will review your resume, portfolio, and cover letter to assess your qualifications and design style. A casual conversation with our HR or hiring manager to get to know you better, understand your experience, and discuss your interest in the role.
Interview process was through the phone. Interviewer asked about why I applied for the role and motivations.
Asked about salary range but they said "there was no salary range" and asked what I was getting paid.
They then said they'd arrange for a virtual interview but that never happened. The lack of professionalism here shows it all.
I had another friend go through the interview process at Freelancer and they lacked professionalism in emails and didn't value the time he put into a case study.
Two red flags here to take note of.
