The recruitment process at GoFundMe was one of the most pleasant I’ve ever experienced. It began with a brief interview with the lead recruiter for my country. After progressing past that stage, I had a short follow-up interview with the senior manager. These initial conversations were an effective way to assess whether there was a mutual fit. Once that was confirmed, I proceeded to an interview with the associate manager and had the opportunity to speak with a few prospective colleagues in similar roles. Throughout the entire process, the tone remained thoughtful and genuinely human, which I appreciated very much.

From start to finish, the experience felt like a waste of time. The process was long, tedious, and completely lacked the human touch. It felt as if the company was more focused on ticking boxes than actually getting to know candidates or providing a meaningful interaction. One of the biggest issues I encountered was the total lack of empathy from the recruiters. Everything was robotic, with no real communication or effort to connect on a personal level. I understand that efficiency is important, but treating candidates like numbers rather than people is not the way to go. There were several stages in the process that could have been avoided entirely or at least streamlined to make it less time-consuming and frustrating. Overall, I expected much more from a company that promotes itself as a great place to work. The lack of respect for applicants' time and feelings is something that needs to be addressed. I hope they reconsider their approach, as it would make a world of difference in how they are perceived by potential employees.
