I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Semrush (Dallas, TX) in Dec 2025
Interview
My first interview was with Brad Hohman from the Expansion sales team, and he really set the tone for the entire process. He was incredibly communicative, transparent, and quick to follow up, which made a huge difference as a candidate. He kept me updated after each step and helped reduce the usual uncertainty between interviews by sharing where things stood along the way.
The process felt very human and supportive, and it was clear that Brad genuinely cared about the candidate experience. Even if things hadn’t worked out, I would have walked away with a very positive impression. He’s exactly the kind of recruiter you want representing a company.

Interview
I had an initial call, and after that I was rejected with the reason “we’re looking for someone more senior.” I have a strong CV and a lot of experience. Even if the recruiter had simply said “it wasn’t a good fit,” I would have been fine with that, but the stated reason felt untrue — which makes me think the company may not really value transparency or high standards

Your experience, tools, programming languages etc.
