I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Goalcast (Montreal, QC) in Dec 2021
Interview
There are a few stages in the hiring process, but I only got as far as the edit test. I had an initial video call with a recruiter who found and reached out to me on LinkedIn. After the initial meeting, I was given the edit test which required cutting down 3+ hours of footage into a mini doc-style YouTube video in Goalcast's style. After submitting the video within the time span to complete it, I was "ghosted" for lack of a better word. Much later on I found out I didn't get the job from the recruiter in a vague email. After asking for feedback or reasoning (for my personal development since this was not a paid test), my request was shut down and it was an odd way to part ways. Not a good way to treat creatives you are looking to recruit.
Candidates needed thorough preparation to tackle technical questions during the interview. Furthermore, completing a test project was a crucial component of the process, ensuring skills and expertise were adequately demonstrated and evaluated.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is one thing you had to do or learn recently that was particularly challenging? What was difficult about it?
Strange girl interviews me, asks nothing but woke & rainbow questions! Nothing about the job! She was short tempered when I insisted that I watermark my “test” (beware of raw edit thieves). I interviewed to do crime documentary! Instead she babbled about the Kardashians!
I applied online. I interviewed at Goalcast (Montreal, QC) in Feb 2023
Interview
Asked to spend three days working on a new video for them and if it was good enough I might be offered an interview. They mentioned that your first day (if hired) would be to finish the video you spent three days working for free on. Was honest that I couldn’t spend three days working for free but would still be interested in the position and they ghosted me.
