I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at SMART Apartment Data (Vancouver, BC) in Nov 2024
Interview
2 days after applying, I was interviewed by HR. Appreciate how quickly they responded. Most of the questions were about tradeshows and events. They need a person who can commit full time with a contractor contract (no benefits but they offer a higher salary from what I understood). Interview process was explained - 5 rounds which is a bit lengthy but understandable given it's their first marketng hire.

I interviewed at SMART Apartment Data (Toronto, ON)
Interview
Interview is about 30 minutes, when I asked how many did they interview it seems they interview daily around 2-3 people for over 6 months, it did not make sense to me, I immediately realized I just one of many.

Interview
I don't believe they are upfront about the job in general, some of the deliverables just seem a bit unrealistic. A bit of a red flag that after operating for 20 years, this would be their first marketing hire. Furthermore, they do not offer any benefits - making this role quite unstable. I asked about culture and team-building, and there was a lack of a response. Also asking a lot for the interview process, for a relatively small company: 6 interviews + 2 assessments.
