I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Salmon (Philippines) in Oct 2025
Interview
I have responded to the vacancy 1 time.
I found out through friends that I wasn't going any further because I didn't "match the stack by years." I do not know how they measured it.
A week later, another recruiter came to the same position with 0 context about my initial rejection.
The recruiter doesn't know anything about the job and asks for basic information, "Where do you live?" and "How much money do you want?" We can say that you can add fields for salary and location to the form, and this stage is not necessary.
I received a technical refusal without specifying the reasons. Ignore my questions about "is there any reason".
I don't recommend it

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Salmon (Philippines) (Manila, Manila) in Nov 2024
Interview
Fuss-free, everyone got straight into the process and the turnaround was fast, everything was happening within 2-3 weeks. Went through an initial interview as a referral and eventually got reviewed by HR. Partway through the process the responsibilities and experience demanded by the role change, as the company is a startup.
