Interview

After filling out a pretty long online form, I was asked to submit a video of myself answering 5 different questions. Then I got to the phone interview. I talked with an HR rep. and the director of design for about an hour. There were several “standard” interview questions and we also talked about my work and how I approached design and bit about my portfolio. Everyone was super friendly and down to earth. A few days after the interview they told me I didn’t make it to the final step of the recruitment process.

Even though I didn’t get the job, the entire process was a fun and it was a good experience.

Interview

I applied online and got an email a few days later. They wanted to know a salary range but said they do a market analysis every time to be competitive. I said I was confident their range was good. They then replied and asked for a minimum as they didn't want to go through the process and find out that my salary was too high or theirs was too low.

How about you save everyone some time and be transparent. Instead say our range is $x to $y. Does that work for you? Also they hire you as an independent contractor so you'd need to purchase your own benefits etc.

You get what you pay for!

The interview process was comprehensive, including a task that took 2 weeks to complete. This was a great opportunity to get to know the people I'd be working with and observe their daily interactions. Overall I'm grateful I got the chance to do it.

There are several steps to completing the process. Thankfully, the company provides detailed information on their site. In addition to submitting a resume and cover letter there are multiple questions applicants are required to answer. Culture fit is a high priority so I suggest applicants answer in their own voice as opposed to plugging in buzz words or submitting too much of a canned response.

Application

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Hotjar (Remote, OR (US)) in September 2017.

Interview

Hotjar follows a 5 stage interview process which includes:
- Filling out an online form/questionnaire,
- Submit a video of yourself answering 5 different questions
- Phone interview with representatives from HR and Marketing
- 3 Day Task and Task presentation( Paid )

The interview process requires time and dedication and even though the difficulty level is high the fact that everyone is friendly and willing to help makes it feel easier.

Interview

It's exactly as listed on their site! I got to stage three which is the phone interview but sadly didn't make it past there. After they let me know I wasn't moving forward to the next stage I asked for specific feedback and the hiring manager took the time to write me a nice email explaining exactly where the gap in my fit for the role was . I'll definitely keep an eye on their site for future roles. The interview process is very involved and takes time but I didn't find it too much given the role is remote, you kind of expect that level of involvement in an interview process.

Interview

You'll be asked to make a video introduction meant to give the HM a feel for your personality/general vibe. If answers on the application and video seem to fit with Hotjar's vibe you'll move on to a phone interview with a few members of the team. If it still feels like a good fit you'll be invited to complete a task. The task is paid and gives you the opportunity to get a better feel for exactly what the position calls for, the way Hotjar functions on a day-to-day basis, and to show just what you're capable of. After completing the task there's another presentation/Q&A/Interview type portion. If everything up to this point is cohesive with Hotjar, you'll be offered the position! :) It may sound long/arduous, but it's worth it. An atmosphere like this is achieved when the synergy is on point!

Interview

Submitted application and selected for a video pre-interview. Quick response after submitting the application. Only complaint was for the video pre-interview, I needed to record my own video, edit and then send it to them. They did not have a website or application for you to use.

Application

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Hotjar (Remote, OR (US)) in May 2017.

Interview

The process took longer than I expected but after meeting the team during my first week you can clearly see why it is well worth it.

There is 5 stages to the process and you are informed throughout each stage where you are at as you progress.

1) Review
2) Video
3) Interview
4) Task
5) Offer

It starts with a review of your CV and once you pass the first stage you are asked to record a video of yourself answering about 10 questions with roughly half about yourself and the other half being job related.

If you pass the video stage you get to an interview with your hiring manager and others from the team you will be joining. Once this is complete you are given a task which will span roughly 4 days for the team to get a feel of how you work and to see the actual work you produce.

You are paid for the task irrespective of if you get the job or not and have a final review with the team & CEO once you have finished the task to receive feedback on your work.

If all goes well past this point you are made an offer.

Overall the process was casual and the team was easy to talk to and super friendly.
