I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Hopper
Interview
WHAT A JOKE. If you don't know EVERY code from EVERY GDS (sabre) system and cant pull them out of your brain in 30 seconds or less don't even bother applying for this joke of a company/job. If you're a recruiter and you're reading this DO BETTER. THIS "interview" process is what's wrong with today's job market. You get an email saying 'we want you to take this assessment" then you do and they expect people to know things that they can be EASILY trained in, but they cut good candidates because they more than likely don't like investing in their employees or new employees. There is also a chat simulator where you are interacting with a fake customer to help resolve an issue they are having but they only give you 3 responses to choose from. You're not able to type anything into this robot. I found myself sympathizing with the robot and realizing I would have offered her better customer service responses than the options provided to me. Then there's a typing part where you have to type super fast but YOU CAN'T MAKE ANY MISTAKES and if you do you can only backspace to correct them. OH, AND THE BEST PART is that the salary is only 40,000.... The fact that you're barely offering to pay a liveable wage but making the interview process THIS difficult is laughable.
Done over Discord app. Just trying to see if the position is legit. The interview was easy if the company is legit. I don't know what else to type her honestly.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Hopper in Oct 2021
Interview
After three days of research I found this was a scam. This woman posing as a recruiter for Hopper texted me and said Hopper has reviewed my resume via Indeed and selected me as a candidate to fill a Cust Serv / Admin / Data entry / HR role for $35 hr. asked if I was interested to download whatsapp or Skype. I already have Skype so out of curiosity I waned to get more insight and see what the next steps were in this process. I mean, who wouldnt want to for $35 an hour. I should've realized the pay rate listed was a red flag. Next I was in touch with someone else posing as a hiring Manager . One thing that really stood out was they both used the word "KINDLY" alot e.g. kindly respond to these questions I ask quickly okay? , kindly check your message for info on our company. etc. They also mentioned the interview was solely through IM (super red flag) he/she asked bizarre questions. I am infuriated they took 3 hours of my life. I sent the guy a message on Skype and told him I would be reporting him and the recruiter as sham job postings. I really hope someone stops them. They even make hopper logos for IMs next to their fake name.
