Zapier has a commitment to applicants. It's very good and they abided by it in my case. Didn't work out but they were fast, human, and operate a job board with their partners if you don't move forward to interviewing! zapier.com/jobs/our-commi…

We know applying for and taking on a new job at any company requires a leap of faith. We want you to feel comfortable and excited to apply at Zapier.

Monogram, on the other hand, replied quickly and asked for a Loom introduction. Viewed it, then ghosted me and reposted the position on read.cv. Takes five seconds to reply to my follow up email, I refuse to believe you're too busy for that.

The Score (a part of the Barstool Sports empire) has been nothing but responsive and considerate throughout the process. Their internal team didn't think I'd be the right fit for a role I applied to but encouraged me to explore a separate opportunity on the team.

Both eqbank.ca/ and upsiide.com/ have take home assignments as a part of hiring. I mentioned in both cases that it was not something I was comfortable doing without compensation, and both nodded, hung up, and have now vanished into the LinkedIn ether.

brex.com 's recruiters took several weeks to respond to an application, scheduled a screening call with me... and then never called me. No follow up email either. See ya.

Upsiide / Dig Insights Screener booked 1 month after I applied, and follow up email just came through... 35 days after the screener. Even if I was still looking, no thanks.

Basecamp despite their recent public scandals was actually really nice to interview at. Paid take home exercise, quick replies, only two interviews for whole process, feedback if you didn’t get an offer.

I'm sorta not surprised to hear that based on some of Jason's past blog entries! Two interviews sounds delightful, I'm currently on step three of NINE with a company.

Questrade: recruiter quickly scheduled 2 interviews within 1-2 weeks. I followed up 3x after that and she replied kindly to each one saying I was on her radar and the hiring manager was just ooo, but after 3 weeks of the same reply I stopped emailing and was ghosted

Ouch, nice start and brutal non-finish. Sorry you had to deal with that :(

thanks~ honestly for the better, I like where I’m at now. just wished she didn’t lead me on 🥲 rly appreciate this thread btw

remembered another one @ Square - got a referral + msged a recruiter & they replied within a few days to kindly turn me down. weird thing is, they said they weren’t hiring in Toronto but their job descrip never mentioned it, BUT I think they made a typo bc they reposted it lol

Square is the only Block company that hires in Toronto afaik, but remote is always poorly communicated at companies. Definitely a pain!

I will put money on less than 100 humans on earth, in total, have a very effective AND painless hiring process for designers.
