I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at MyPocketSkill (London, England)
Interview
I had two interviews, the first was with one of the Co-Founders/CEOs and the second was with both. After the first interview I had to complete a short written task.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at MyPocketSkill in May 2024
Interview
I was invited to a 30-minute interview via Zoom. During the first 5 minutes, they provided more details about the company, their operations, and the role itself. A week later, on Friday, I had a second call where they asked about my experience and discussed the role further. At the end of that call, I mentioned that I would be on holiday for a week (the week after), and they assured me that it wouldn't affect the next steps in the process.
After the call, they sent me a task to complete at your earliest convenience, which I did and submitted on Monday. They responded, informing me “It was great that you took the time to complete the mini assignment. It showed good process and a logical approach.” and that they were in Malaga that week to collect an award, and suggested scheduling another interview for the following week—the week of my holiday. I reminded them that I would be unavailable but could interview the week after, as I was returning on Sunday. Since then, I have not heard back from them.
They have not responded to the two follow-up emails I sent after returning from my trip. This experience has been frustrating and disappointing. I don't understand why they would engage with me and then suddenly stop communicating. I wish them the best of luck in filling the position, but their lack of professionalism and respect for my time is disheartening.

Was told that if selected the next step would entail another 30 minute interview with the other founder.
