A few years ago, I applied for a freelancer position at Tesonet, and the interview process was a pretty positive experience overall. It started with a video call with a recruiter, which felt casual but professional. They asked about my experience, what kind of projects I’d worked on, and how I manage freelance work. The recruiter was friendly and seemed genuinely interested in my answers, which made the conversation flow naturally.
After the initial call, they invited me to a technical interview. For my role, they wanted to assess specific skills, so I had to complete a task related to my expertise. It wasn't overly difficult, but it was challenging enough to test my practical knowledge. I remember appreciating that the task was directly relevant to the type of freelance work they needed, so I felt like I was being assessed fairly on what I’d actually be doing if hired.
The interviewers were very professional, but also laid-back in a way that made the process feel more like a discussion than an interrogation. They asked thoughtful questions, not just about technical skills but also how I handle tight deadlines and communication with teams remotely. We also touched on Tesonet’s culture and how freelancers fit into their broader operations, which gave me a good sense of what it would be like working with them.
One thing I liked was how organized everything was. I received feedback quickly after each stage, and I didn’t have to wait long between interviews. They kept me informed, which I appreciated since freelance interviews can sometimes feel like a black hole where you’re just waiting for responses.
In the end, I didn’t get the project I originally applied for, but they kept me in mind for future opportunities, which showed they valued building relationships. Overall, it was a great experience, and I’d definitely consider working with Tesonet again in the future. The process was smooth, and the people I interacted with were professional yet approachable, which made a big difference.
