The hiring process at FreshBooks takes an average of 14 days when considering 1 user submitted interviews across all job titles. Candidates applying for Product Manager had the quickest hiring process (on average 14 days), whereas Product Manager roles had the slowest hiring process (on average 14 days).
Initial recruiter screen, then technical verbal, then case study, then talk with the director. The process was straightforward, but the case study was tricky and very time-consuming. The verbal technical round had a variety of questions.
I had an initial chat with the HR and then followed up about the next interview but was only contacted a week later. I had another interview with the manager and I enjoyed that. However, there was no follow up after that despite being told by the manager about the next round and being asked to schedule it.
Advice to the management- Please be considerate of candidates time and standardise the process.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at FreshBooks in Apr 2026
Interview
The initial interview was about 20 minutes and asked the most basic level questions.
For a senior position they asked zero senior questions.
They focused on which tools someone was using, which at a senior level is silly.
Tools are learned in an afternoon.
Systems thinking and engineering rigor are what should be interview for.
