I applied online. I interviewed at Teamtailor (Kraków) in Jan 2026
Interview
The recruitment process for a Senior position lasted approximately 10 weeks, characterized by several long communication gaps between stages.
There was a noticeable shift in expectations throughout the process. Initial high-level architectural discussions were later replaced by detail-oriented live coding tasks that did not seem to reflect the seniority of the role advertised.
Shortly after the Senior recruitment concluded, the listing was replaced by a "Trainee" position with a nearly identical tech stack and requirements. This raises questions about internal role definition and planning.
The final feedback was somewhat defensive and did not address the systemic inconsistencies pointed out during the process.
Advice to Management:
Better align the hiring process with the seniority of the roles being filled. If a position is focused on execution within a specific, pre-defined framework, it should be advertised accordingly to avoid wasting the time of Senior-level candidates. Improve transparency regarding role changes during the hiring cycle.
