Summary

This position was not super easy to fill due to not quite competent submissions from the candidates.

Many devops had no experience with Google Cloud, which was one of the main requirements. Also, during the technical interview, there was a situation where two candidates were not selected because of each other's English, because they were googling questions during the interview.

Although at the screening stage, their CVs looked convincing at the screening stage. In the end, we chose one candidate and tried to raise the bar, to attract more competent employees.

That's why at the beginning of the beginning of the work on the vacancy and there was a slight hiccup on the client's part, because they changed the requirements for the position and we had to start the search from scratch.

Summary

Candidates were eager to apply and were particularly interested in working with our company and on this project (many candidates mentioned that they were specifically attracted to the project’s domain). Overall, there were no significant issues.

After the first two interviews, we made some adjustments (the English proficiency and general technical level of some candidates were too high for the role).

Afterward, the next three candidates we submitted to the client caught their interest. The project's short-term nature was also not an issue. This was discussed with the candidates during the screening.

Summary

Candidates were eager to apply and were interested in working with our company. There were many strong applicants who could have been sent for interviews with the client, but we immediately found a match with the first candidate who interviewed.

There were extra stages, as we conducted live coding sessions with candidates to filter out those who weren’t a good fit. However, not many coding sessions were necessary, since the client quickly completed all the stages with one of the candidates and made a hiring decision.

Summary

Candidates enthusiastically applied and demonstrated interest in working specifically at our company and on this project.

The primary delay occurred in the initial stages of the hiring process due to insufficient communication, which underwent adjustments and refinements throughout the recruitment process. Once all the processes were properly coordinated, the hiring process accelerated, and we were able to fill the position within a week.

During the recruitment process, we enlisted the assistance of a Kotlin developer who conducted several live coding sessions with our candidates, enabling us to present only those candidates with whom we had confidence.

To gather more comprehensive feedback about the candidates after the interviews, we introduced a feedback form, allowing us to provide clear and meaningful feedback.

Summary

We offered this position to 55 developers, 26 of whom expressed interest. After reviewing the candidates' CVs, we invited 8 developers to the first interview with the recruiter. Subsequently, we selected 6 of these and compiled a table of their experience and knowledge.

A total of 2 technical interviews were conducted, one of which was unsuccessful because the candidate lacked experience. Another interview led to the successful closing of the position. The entire process took 10 days.
