The phone interview went very well with HR. The man on the phone was very friendly and seemed to really believe in the company. Following my interview, he sent me over a writing test. I took the test and sent it back in the given amount of time. He then replied, said it "looked fantastic", and that he would get back to me within the week. When I didn't hear back, I sent a follow-up e-mail asking where they were at in their process, and if I wasn't selected, thanked them for their time. When companies do not respond letting the candidate know that they did not receive the job, I think it looks badly on the company. Candidates are taking time for HelloFresh's interview process. Letting them down kindly will leave a better taste than say ignoring e-mails completely.
I applied online. I interviewed at HelloFresh in Sept 2025
Interview
I had a screening call. That was passed and followed through to an interview with hiring manager.
All in all it was ok, nothing particularly stands out from these calls.
I was given fairly detailed feedback on why I didn't make the cut, but I had to laugh when that feedback mentioned something specific and the next week I saw a Hellofresh ad with that exact thing. For me it was a sign. As a creative, we know inconsistency usually equates to work chaos. So, in the end I was relieved.

Question 1
Salary expectations.
What do you like most about our communications from the ones you've seen?
They also asked UNPAID assessment, which is quite dodgy considering the calibre of the company (low).

Initial phone screen, three virtual interviews with team members, a copy (skills) test, and a background check. Never heard from them again. I understand these things happen, but ghosting a final candidate who took the time to complete all of the above is frustrating.
