I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at TikTok (Chicago, IL) in Apr 2020
Interview
I was reached out to by a TikTok employee who is their recruiter (from the US) and had a phone interview with her next day. I would try to not use a 3rd party recruiter if possible (as many do tend to be from China and difficult to coordinate with). She then set up 3 back to back interviews for about 30 min each - with different members of the brand partnerships team. (A seller, creative lead and finally Central lead). Received an offer a couple days later.
