I applied online. I interviewed at Semrush (Jakarta) in Nov 2022
Interview
The interview process really fun and nice. The HR team really friendly and we were having a lot of discussion about the job and of course about the background. Overall it's the comfortable interview so far
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
- What will you do if your working environment uncomfortable? - What do you know about SEO?
They should receive a video in which you describe yourself before they invite you to an actual interview. It never came to that. It is a way of easy elimination for them, without bothering to do it after the actual interview.

Question 1
Send a video describing yourself before we interview you.
Dear Sender,
Thank you for the feedback. The video step is necessary for our hiring process – it’s our way to check the language skills of candidates before we proceed with the first interview. We receive an overwhelming amount of applications, but not all of them are relevant. That’s why we find this process useful for our recruitment processes.
We hope this info will help to understand our process better, and we wish you good luck in finding more interesting job offers.
Yours, Semrush Team
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Semrush (Prag) in May 2022
Interview
After having sent the application, they sent me a very brief questionnaire to fill out, and after that, I got the first interview. It went well, and afterwards you need to record a short video and send it to them.
After they reviewed the resume and the video, they invited me for the second interview, after which I got rejected, but the rejection e-mail was very nice and respectful and they suggested to stay in touch.

Question 1
The first interview - questions like is the location of the company alright for me, why would I like to do this job and why I picked this company.
The second interview was with three potential colleagues, they were all very pleasant. There was a technical part that I needed to learn about and answer some questions, and then we talked about the position. They asked me what kind of colleagues and manager I would like, would I like to work from the office or home, where did I hear about the company and job, I believe also additional questions about why did I apply for it.
