I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Semrush in Feb 2023
Interview
Such a waste of time. I applied through a recruiter, and he told me that they are very interested and the process would be smooth and fast but I was ghosted after the first interview with HR and PM. Tried to contact the recruiter and Semrush's HR by email, but no luck. Very disappointing and unprofessional!
Dear Sender,
We’re sorry you were upset by our interview process. This isn’t the way we usually communicate with candidates.
Thank you for your review! It will help us work on this case together with the Talent Acquisition Team.
Yours, Semrush Team

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Semrush (Barcelona) in Nov 2024
Interview
The interview process was super clear and well-structured. The recruiter stayed in touch throughout, always let me know exactly when to expect feedback after each stage — and consistently delivered it on time.
They even arranged an extra meeting with the team at my request when I was unsure about accepting the offer — which I really appreciated. Everything was handled at a top level.
The interviews were friendly and collaborative — it felt like a conversation between equals, not like taking an exam.
Excellent work done by everyone who was involved!

Question 1
Nothing strange or unexpected. Typical python/db/... questions, a bit of practice, also we talked about my current and previous projects.
