Application
I applied online. I interviewed at Hotjar in January 2017.
Interview
I applied online and got an email a few days later. They wanted to know a salary range but said they do a market analysis every time to be competitive. I said I was confident their range was good. They then replied and asked for a minimum as they didn't want to go through the process and find out that my salary was too high or theirs was too low.
How about you save everyone some time and be transparent. Instead say our range is $x to $y. Does that work for you? Also they hire you as an independent contractor so you'd need to purchase your own benefits etc.
You get what you pay for!
Application
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Hotjar in October 2019.
Interview
The interview process was a mix of calls and a task. The whole process from start to finish was about 1.5 months and all-around a great experience. During the task round, you are able to communicate with the team and the wider company to ask questions and get a good understanding of how the team works together and is structured. Everyone was super friendly and helpful throughout the whole process!

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of your application process. I'm sorry to hear of your negative experience.
We use the salary information provided to us by candidates to help us validate our market research. When candidates don't provide us with or do not have specific salary requirements, we will be sure to always communicate our range in response to them. We believe it's important to answer this question early in order to be respectful to candidates.
To your point, we know it's not always an easy question to answer right off the bat and we've considered providing the range first as you suggested. Perhaps we'll try this approach for an upcoming role. Thanks again for voicing your opinion.... MoreLess
