Brafton Interview Questions

Initial 20-minute interview with a recruiter. I thought it went well and answered all their question, but I never heard why I wasn't a great fit. I was bummed I never received a response.

First, I had a quick Zoom call with the recruitment specialist, who was nice but seemed to read off a script rather than have a conversation. After that, I got an email asking if I wanted to move further by taking a writing sample assignment, which I did. The assignment was simple and tested my ability to analyze a fake content brief and create a 1000-word article that is search-engine optimized.

In depth and fair. They asked questions that felt necessary and always kept with the timelines they had set. Entire process was efficient as it took about 3 weeks .

The main recruiter was extremely communicative about the next steps and what to expect after each phase. They will be your first point of contact and later introduced to who will be managing your team.

Very quick, very professional. The whole team was communicative and expectations were plainly laid out. An assignment was given and it was similar to the expected work throughout a day.

Two interviews, the first being a screening/basic pulse check. In between rounds, you submit a writing sample based on one of their prompts. If you make it to round two you chat through your process and prior experience.

O processo teve duas entrevistas. Uma com a Laura, Recruitment e Resource Coordinator, e a segunda com o Ken (designer) e a Laura. As duas entrevistas foram em inglês. Eles foram bem transparentes quanto ao regime e carga de trabalho e o tipo de trabalho que eu iria executar. Elogiaram bastante o meu potfólio e me fizeram sentir a vontade.

It was a very quick, 20-minute video interview. Questions assessed experience and were not the standard "what are your weaknesses" type of questions. It almost seemed too casual and easy.

I didn't get far, because when I showed up to the video interview and the hiring manager didn't show up. I tried getting a hold of the recruiter and the hiring manager to no avail. Very unprofessional to ghost a candidate after they prepared and took the time to attend the interview.

The first interview was positive and brief. I got a good feeling from them. Then I had a second interview with a VP. It was an hour long grilling that seemed designed to attempt to trip me up. He asked many probing questions. He seemed extremely condescending and it was a negative experience. Afterwards, I received and completed a creative test. I was told I’d hear back the following week, but they kept delaying their decision and it ended up being about two weeks before I heard back. They sent a mass email to everyone who did not receive an offer, rather than take time to write personal emails. The whole process took about a month and a half. They seemed content to waste my time, but couldn’t be bothered to follow up personally or stick to the time frame they initially set.
