The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Datadog (New York, NY)
Interview
I had a great experience interviewing at Datadog. The first step was a call with a member of the Technical Recruiting team where we talked about my experience and why Datadog was hiring. The next step was a take home project where I had the chance to demonstrate my skills and creative sourcing methods. The final step was an onsite. I did not only meet some of the technical recruiters, but leaders of the engineering team. This was especially important to me, since I was interviewing for a technical recruiter role. This demonstrated the importance that tech recruiting has in the larger engineer org.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is important to you in your next role? Tell me about a time you had a hard to close candidate? What are some of your sourcing methods?
Interview process was very long and in-depth. Required a presentation that took days to complete. Did an in-person meeting but the hiring manager didn't show so it was Zoom in office.

The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Datadog (Swords) in Mar 2022
Interview
The best candidate experience I have ever had. Well prepared interviewers, thoroughly thought out interview structure, and overall just a very nice experience. 2 weeks from initial interview to offer and contract
I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Datadog
Interview
The initial approach was by email, then we proceeded to the zoom call. The decision was never communicated to the candidate. 6 months have gone by and not an email stating at least that they went for another candidate. No closure within the pipeline.
