Sollicitatievragen bij Mollie

4 rondes met aan het eind een business case en presentatie. Alles kon online wegens corona. Gesprek met recruiters dan met manager en dan met VP. Uiteindelijk een presentatie op kantoor gedaan voor CCO.

The interview process was going really fast. The interviews were set up to show the experience and talents of the candidate. The interviewers were highly skilled and friendly and they seemed genuinely interested.

The recruiter reached out to me the day after I submitted my application. She asked me to book a timeslot in her agenda for an initial call. Her email mentioned to send her questions if I had any. I did but she did not respond at all. It was radio silent until the day of the call. At the time of meeting, she didn’t show up and changed the interview date without giving me a reason. I think it reflects very badly of the management - poor coordination and did not have any respect my time. I do not recommend this company.

I am surprised that working at Mollie's has such a good feedback, so probably it's just the recruitment that does a bad reputation. I was approached by a recruiter by LinkedIn. She sent me two messages, those were nice. I was not even planning to change companies. Anyway, we agreed to speak and and a call online. She also asked me to send her my salary expectations by email. Done that. What happened next is just plain weird. She never contacted me again, gave me no feedback. I tried to reach out that recruiter myself and never got a response back. If that was a salary, she could have just told me although I don't think it was that. My salary was within market range, not even its maximum. This is absolutely unacceptable for a recruiter to disappear and for other colleagues not to reply to emails (tried to reach out 2 others) as well. Sad, because it seems like a great place to work based on reviews. But please, educate your recruiters to have some integrity and competences helping them do the right job.

Sollicitatieprocedure is nog gaande. Naar aanleiding van mijn reactie op de vacature, ben ik uitgenodigd voor een videocall. Een en ander is volledig per mail verlopen. Het gesprek heeft in het Engels plaatsgevonden.

Very disappointing experience. Roughly three weeks after submitting my CV I received a message to arrange an interview with HR. We then set up an appointment via mail. A day before I was called to ask if we can move the interview up one day. On the day of the interview no-one showed up and even after a follow up email I received no communication whatsoever. The next day I had to call myself to find out that the recruiter had gotten ill and someone was supposed to inform me but had not. Also I was going to be interviewed for a different role than what I applied for. Okay, so a few days later I did have an interview which and the recruiter said that I would have an interview with the team I would be working with. An invitation and prep material would be sent to by email. After not hearing back for a few days, I sent a follow up email to which I have received no reply and my calls aren't answered either. All in all a very frustrating experience for a company I was excited to learn more about.

three rounds of interview, first one with the hiring manager, second with the hiring manager and another senior stakeholder, third round was with the hiring manager and 2 other stakeholders including the VP.

Make a ZoomCall with Team Manager. He introduced company very well and gave information about the role, the team and the expectations. I think that Mollie is a good place for work but non-EU citizens does not have enough chance.

First round was with HR recruiter, who was supposed to call me for feedback but didn't happen. (Even though she had proposed the timeline!) I sent a follow up email on the same day but no response. A couple of days after, she replied to me but no apologies mentioned and just asked me another available timeslot. She finally called me but what she said to me is "your answer from the interview with me was unstructured and not clear. Maybe you were busy at work and could not summarize exactly what you wanted to say. The hiring team is interested in your profile but I need to have more clear vision of what you're doing" My response might not have been so straightforward but I have never received such a feedback or being treated in a way she did to me in my career. Quite disappointed. I was willing to move forward but due to this experience I decided not pursuing anymore.

The interview process was really quick, really interesting and relevant to the position. I really appreciated how Mollie tries to keep the number of interview stages to the minimum they need to make a decision. I had feedback at every stage, clear next steps and timelines. 1st round with head of recruitment for the department, 2nd round with hiring manager, 3rd round case study presentation with ~4 members from the team. I also had a 4th round with the manager just to ensure we felt a good connection before making a final decision.
