I applied online. I interviewed at DolarApp (London, England) in Mar 2026
Interview
First step is to do take home task - I was told to allocate ~10 hours for this off the back of a cold application with no interview preceding it.
After submitting the task, I then had a call with the recruiter - 30 mins, pretty standard questions.
From there, I received a straight rejection with no feedback on the interview or the task.
It did not feel like my time or effort was respected, and if that's a reflection of the company then I'm glad this is how it played out.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The take home task is a data analysis & recommendation task. Output is either a written report or a powerpoint presentation detailing findings & recommendations.
I interviewed for a TA/recruitment role and was asked to complete a sourcing exercise involving identifying candidates for a live, hard to fill vacancy.
I invested several hours into the task and produced a shortlist of strong candidates aligned to the brief. Following the process, I received a generic rejection email with no specific feedback relating to the task, sourcing quality, or assessment criteria.
I subsequently requested feedback given the time and effort involved, but did not receive a response.
My advice to future candidates would be to clarify expectations around interview tasks upfront, particularly where exercises involve live business requirements or operational work as you are essentially working for them for free on a hard to fill role.
Candidate experience matters, especially in talent acquisition hiring processes.
