It was a very straight forward interview process with clear directions and expectations. There were multiple steps in the process that were all laid out very clearly from video recorded responses to essay questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked how I felt I was best prepared for this position.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Squared Away in May 2025
Interview
I applied online via their website. The job application had two parts; the first was pretty standard with collecting your information, resume, cover letter, etc. The second part of the application had a few screening tasks, such as booking travel and a meeting for 3 different people in different timezones. These tasks utilized Google Calendar and Google Docs. I thought this was pretty easy, as they were tasked I had done before.
Once they had reviewed my application, I was pushed forward to the TestGorilla assessment. I had three days to complete it, and the initial email with the test link had listed three questions to prepare for in a one-sided interview video. I was glad to have these questions in advance as it allowed me to think of my past experiences and draft a response. The tests, in my opinion, was fairly easy. It took about an hour of my time to complete, and I saw my scores immediately after completing the tests. I scored well, with an average of approximately the 85th percentile.
After completing the assessment, I was expecting a call to interview with a person (either phone or Zoom) within the next few weeks. However, I was emailed approximately 3 weeks later with an offer that I accepted.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Describe a situation where you had to quickly resolve a crisis for a client. How did you handle it, and what was the outcome?
They used Test Gorilla assessments and followed up with an offer after that. It took a couple of weeks, but there was no formal interview. I’m sure the scores play a part in addition to your resume, but not sure what their benchmark is.
Very easy, initial questionnaire and then over the phone interview with one of the lead team members. Basic questions asked about work experience, skills, and they wanted to know my favorite flower.
