I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Toptal in Dec 2018
Interview
I have applied through Toptal web site for a position of a project manager. Almost immediately after I submitted my application, the link with an interview proposal timeslot were on my email address. I have chosen to have an interview the very same day. After couple of hours my interviewer and I have joined the first step (an online interview). It was 20-30 minutes call to introduce Toptal to me and to understand more about the position.
The interview process is in more than 1 step. Second step after this interview is an online test.
I had an interview with a recruiter as part of the hiring process. The conversation included specific questions related to the role and my previous experience. The interview was structured and focused on assessing my fit for the position and understanding my background in similar tasks.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
to walk through my entire design process live, from understanding the problem to delivering a solution for a specific case
The process was very comprehensive, and the interviewers were very good at what they were doing. The first phase is quite easy, but when it comes to the later stages that's where the weeding comes out. Overall a challenging interview.
Recruiter kept me well informed throughout the process. They also provided documents about the company and benefits which was appreciative. You’re also expected to take an assessment during the process.
