Danielle Arrebola - Founder at Emploi & Talent Manager - Swyftx

Summary

In this conversation, Dani, a talent manager, shares insights on the interview process and hiring practices. The interview process at Swyftx, a crypto company, is a combination of formal and casual. It begins with a phone screen to align expectations and assess key information. The company follows a two-stage interview process, including technical and behavioural questions, as well as a task to assess skills. Bar raisers, and representatives from the business, are involved in the second interview to provide a different perspective. 

Red flags in the interview process include inconsistencies between the resume and LinkedIn profile, poor communication, and negative body language. SwiftX is open to hiring candidates from different backgrounds and values adaptability and resilience. Candidates should ask questions about the company's culture, policies, and challenges. A degree is not always required for roles, and references play a vital role in the hiring decision.
