I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Deel (Vancouver, BC)
Interview
5-steps process Allows you to meet many folks at different levels in the sales organization - it’s a great way to gather a lot of insights Allows you to get to know the organization and potential prospects well - the 3rd step is a take home assignment Allows you to stand out Could be considered longer than a typical process, but I think every company has the right to decide how to manage their own processes to find the best people for their roles
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They would like to see your entrepreneurial skills/ mindset in action.
The SDR interview process at Deel appeared highly organized at first, but the actual interaction felt biased and inconsistent. I had the impression that appearance and personal perception influenced the interviewer's attitude more than qualifications or experience. Once they seemed uninterested, the discussion shifted toward unnecessary questions with very little real engagement.
A professional interview should make candidates feel evaluated on their skills, not on subjective impressions.
Very lengthy process and took from Jan to Mar. However, I get a response back fast, so that's something I appreciate. I started with a recruiter round -> hiring manager-> Role play+ presentation -> Regional Manager ->Culture Fit
Hiring team not actively engaged or positive
Hiring manager didn’t describe the team or company culture
Didn’t try to sell
Made me feel like overall vibe isn’t good there
Virtually no benefits outside of remote working
