      What is the hiring process like at Bolt?

      Bolt reviews

      Bolt offers an good tools for hiring!

      Recruiter
      Former employee
      Tallinn
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Bolt offers an good tools for hiring, making the recruitment process more efficient and streamlined. The hiring journey, while demanding, benefits from processes that are typically pre-agreed, ensuring clarity and consistency. Primarily managed by a dedicated recruitment team, the process is handled with professionalism and responsibility, reflecting Bolt's commitment to bringing top talent on board. Overall, the structured and well-supported approach.

      Cons

      Bolt provides effective tools for the hiring process, which are pivotal in maintaining a structured recruitment approach. However, the hiring process often feels more like a delivery service than a partnership, with the primary responsibility falling on the recruitment team. Unfortunately, there seems to be a lack of recognition and reward for the hard work of the recruitment team, compounded by negative feedback from the founder. This undervaluation can impact team morale and the overall effectiveness of the hiring process.

      Great onboarding, supportive team, and true flexibility

      Technical recruiter
      Current employee
      Tallinn
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I’ve been at Bolt for two months, and the onboarding process was very smooth. Coming from an agency and freelancing background, I really appreciate the “get things done” mindset that’s balanced with a strong focus on work-life balance. The flexibility is amazing, colleagues are friendly and approachable, and everyone was super supportive during my first weeks. Can’t complain, it’s been a great start! Supportive and welcoming team Excellent work-life balance Flexible schedule and trust-based culture Smooth onboarding experience Fast-paced but human environment

      Cons

      Still adjusting to internal tools and systems Can be fast-moving at times Some processes are evolving as the company grows

      Not for long timers

      Pros

      Might be good place for someone who are just starting their career.

      Cons

      Terrible management with poor decisions making process makes this place hard for everyone working for the company. Some of the Managers will have absolutely no idea of the problem we are trying to solve as a team, and they just throw up their unwanted useless opinion, just to show they are involved, which further delays the decision making process and make it difficult for everyone. Poor compensation and you will hardly have any raise every year, unless you sell your soul and work 9-9-6. So, basically you are expected to work 72 hours per week with the kind of unrealistic expectation being thrown as high performance team, so that managers will raise up their ranks and you are still fighting for your piece of bread.

      They are cheap and collect fees from driver payments.

      Pros

      There aren’t many pros anymore. The jobs come from ezcater who hires Bolt and other companies.

      Cons

      So many cons… Not fully transparent, much like a typical staffing agency that collects a lot and doesn’t want to pay much to the employees. You literally have to hold out until they add bonus after bonus, done in $7 increments, and starting at $19. It appears other drivers have learned to hold out until the offer increases to $30-$45 on average after bonuses are applied. Initially, offers were at least $25 minimum. They claimed the decrease was due to them not getting more jobs. They’ve pushed more jobs out since then, but the starting pay remains low. A customer told me they typically pay $50 for delivery fees and that does not include a driver tip. If a driver is tipped they will not know about it through Bolt. They hired GigSafe for their onboarding process within the past year and they are AWFUL at it. GigSafe sends premature messages saying your account is deactivated when your document (car insurance or motor vehicle report) is about to expire. They have deactivated my account for this same reason once without any notice that they needed an updated document. Customer service at GigSafe is very sensitive and will respond to you in a snarky way. Bolt does not really have customer service. You’re lucky if you can get someone to respond back in a timely manner when there is an issue, like late or missed payments and to add the last-minute bonuses they mention, which are now done EVERY single day…[BONUS ALERT]. You have to pay $20 to another third-party company (YardStik) for a MVR if you do not upload your own. The back and forth contact when issues arise will make you feel like it is a full time job. It’s mainly due to them not having solid processes. VERY supplemental income so have something else lined up for steady pay.
