I applied online. I interviewed at Motorbiscuit in Jul 2021
Interview
Was emailed after an online submission through their website. They said they loved my background and wanted to learn more about my skills. Then, they asked if I would complete a short sample piece for them (it would not be a paid writing test).
It’s never a good idea to write for someone for free; that’s what your portfolio is for. Nevertheless, I was interested to see what type of content they would have me writing, so I responded to the email on the same day and said I’d be willing to do the writing sample for them.
They completely ghosted me and never responded to my email even though they reached out to me first and I responded immediately. Incredibly disrespectful of my time and candidacy. If this is how they treat applicants, I can only imagine how they treat employees.
Update: I finally got a response more than a week after posting this review. However, upon asking for specifics about what they were looking for in their sample, I was greeted with short, passive aggressive emails and responses what couldn’t even bother to spell my name correctly. Again, as a potential employee I am being treated with very minimal respect, and I wouldn’t advise applying here if you respect your time, your skills, and yourself.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Would you be willing to write a sample article for us?
Hello, thank you for taking the time to provide your review. We apologize for missing this review within the system and recognize that our delayed response only further supports your feedback provided above, though our intentions are to always provide timely responses.
We would love to learn more about your interview process as we believe we send updates to sample request candidates frequently. We have implemented a new applicant tracking system that unfortunately doesn’t always guarantee our emails through the system will get to your inbox, instead they may go to spam. We would love the opportunity to learn if this was the initial issue as we are actively working with the 3rd party system to correct this for future communications. We will also be bringing this feedback to our Motorbiscuit hiring team so they may work together to address this concern and make improvements for future candidates. Our goal is to provide as timely communication as possible and keep you informed every step of the way. We apologize that this was not your experience and truly appreciate you taking the time to let us know.
