I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Virtual Diamond Boutique in Mar 2025
Interview
After I applied, Gil reached out to me on LinkedIn, and we set a day and time to speak. Standard questions and went well. Talked about a second interview and the process. I sent 2 emails after and Gil opened them but never responded. It's a big red flag when a company ghost prospects.
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Virtual Diamond Boutique (Toronto, ON) in Feb 2025
Interview
I applied through Indeed and Wellfound, but continued communication through Indeed. They asked for a video submission, but provide no link or instructions; I made a private YouTube video for mine.
After some back and forth discussing availability and WFH setup etc., they asked if I could do a phone screening within 3 hours. I said yes. Shortly after, they asked if we could do video instead— I said yes. I met with the co-founder & CEO.
The interview only lasted about 60-90 seconds. The interviewer was totally rude and condescending, so I retracted my application and said goodbye.
You couldn't pay me 10X to work with someone like that. Not because I can't be bought- because 10X what they're offering is still not that much.

Wrapping Up
Understanding the steps in the interview process will help your company standardize its interview process; leading to better, more qualified hires over the long term.
Why is this the case?
Standardizing your interview process helps interviewers and recruiters make fairer comparisons between candidates, as each candidate will be subjected to the same interview process.
