J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 1 semaine. J'ai passé un entretien chez NiceJob (Vancouver, BC) en sept. 2019
Entretien
After submitting a resume, I was sent a link to the next stage of the process where I had to record a videos to answer a few questions. The questions were fairly simple but I think the 1 minute limit was difficult to stay within for some of the questions. I think some questions should be broken down into 1 or 2 more videos. I enjoyed the process because it felt very different from a typical company. After a few days I received a rejection email. I do like that they take the time to send a rejection.

Entretien
Very relaxing and fun. It was a one way type of interview with a mix of personal questions as well as professional experience questions. I was able to do the interview from the comfort of my home at a time I chose. There was a mix of written and video responses.

I think the interview process is probably a fairly good filter to find the kind of people that are willing to work at NiceJob.
The first stage is about 10 minutes of you recording yourself answering some questions. Kind of a cool idea.
The next stage is 45 minutes of it. Kind of not so cool. I personally found a lot of the questions irritating, which told me that I would probably find working there pretty unbearable. They ask what your Meyer's Briggs type is, a bit about the standards of why you want to work for them, but delve into some pretty personal questions pretty quickly.
I'm personally not willing to spend 45 minutes of my time talking to a computer screen when I haven't even had a telephone interview with a real person. Sure, they say you can ask questions via email if you want, but I found it super impersonal and quite frankly disrespectful of candidates time.
All of this would be fine enough to get over, but the thing that really got to me was at the very end one of their questions is:
`Please describe any health/legal/family issues or circumstances you may have that could prevent you from doing this job? (such as travel or working during business hours)`
Which is borderline illegal, if not incredibly immoral. Again, this is before you've even spoke to a real person and they have the gall to ask about your mental health, family issues, or legal problems.
Questions d'entretien [2]
Question 1
What do people like least about you? Are they right to dislike that, or is there a misconception? Additionally, what is your approach to personal development, and what does personal development mean to you?
Describe your ideal work culture. Additionally, what do you do after work and with whom do you typically spend this time with?
Please be more descriptive than "my friends" if that is what you were going to say. E.g. What type of people are they? Where did you meet them?
