- Phone screen with recruiter, then hiring manager. - Technical puzzle. - Interview that tests on facebook advertising concepts. - 'Selling' the team their own product. - Discussion with leadership. The process was challenging and over a period of almost 3 months, with hours of preparation needed for steps in between. The reasons for each step is well explained and the interviewee is also made to learn a lot about the product and facebook advertising. Feedback is given at every step which was great. What wasn't great was business needs changing after the 3 months of interview that the demands of the role were no longer met and this resulted in a no offer despite good feedback throughout. Future interviewees are advised to be more ambiguous with your career goals as this might also be used as a reason for rejection.

Intense recruitment process lasting 3-4 weeks. Consists of five stages and despite the lengthiness, all stages naturally follow and flow into each other. The interviews are more meant to test your ability to learn fast instead of your existing knowledge. The process gives the candidate a good overview of Smartly's culture and knowledge of the product, while Smartly can obtain motivated employees. Good communication throughout the process. The interviews are quite generalist, so not too much on the role specifically, but of course you can always ask more.
