I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Handshake (San Francisco, CA) in June 2019
Interview
The interview process and Handshake was great! It consisted of a call with the recruiter, a call with the manager, and two in person meetings at the office. The way I was treated during the interview process is a big reason why I went to Handshake - everyone is kind, passionate, and it is obvious that they are trying to build a great company with great employees.
Applied online and a recruiter reached out to set up initial 30 minute screening. The entire 30 minutes were spent with the recruiter talking about their background and career. I was sent a questionnaire after asking me to complete via email. All the questions were standard, but should have been covered during the phone call.

Interview
A recruiter messaged me on LinkedIn. The entire process was 5 calls over 4 weeks. 1 recruiter screen, 3 calls with hiring managers and the vp of sales, and a mock discovery call. After completing all five calls, I received a call from HR saying I “passed the hiring screen”, but the head of operations, who I didn’t meet with, rejected me based on my profile. So I wasted all that time for no reason, why are they reaching out to profiles they don’t want?
The feedback they gave was they were hoping to get someone with mid-market experience for this smb role, but the pay was low even for smb. Good luck handshake, you’ll continue to get destroyed by LinkedIn.
