Iskustva i komentari zaposlenih

Proces je takav da imate 3-4 intervjua. Prvo vas zove HR i dogovarate sa sa njim o daljim koracima. On salje dva testa za izradu koja morate da uradite u narednih 48 sati. Nakon toga, ukoliko su zadovoljni vas pozivaju na sledeci intervju. Posle ovoga nisam dobio nikakav feedback, nikakav odgovor. HR me je uredno obrisao sa LinkedIN-a, jer im se moj predlog za ocekivanu platu nije svideo, ovigledno. Nisam trazio 5000 evra, vec 1300. Blago receno, veoma neprofesionalni. Samo sam izgubio svoje vreme. Nikome ne preporucujem.

Telefonski kontakt tokom selekcije bio je krajnje neprofesionalan. Razgovor je vođen u neprimerenom tonu, uz omalovažavanje kandidata i površne pretpostavke o sposobnostima zasnovane isključivo na formalnom obrazovanju. Nije postojala želja za konstruktivnim dijalogom niti razumevanje šireg spektra veština koje su relevantne za poziciju. Veoma loše iskustvo.

Imao sam HR intervju koji je bio veoma prijatan i profesionalan, detaljno smo prošli kroz moje iskustvo, šta sam radio, kao i kroz to čime se firma bavi i šta im je potrebno. Razgovor je bio otvoren i ostavio je pozitivan prvi utisak. Nakon toga je zakazan tehnički intervju sa dvojicom kolega. Razgovor je protekao korektno i u prijatnoj atmosferi. Na osnovu njihovog feedback-a tokom razgovora, sve je delovalo da je prošlo dobro. Nakon toga mi je rečeno da će HR javiti konačan ishod selekcije. Kako se niko nije javio ni nakon desetak dana, kontaktirao sam ih i dobio odgovor da čekaju direktora koji je u gužvi, uz napomenu da će mi se svakako javiti bez obzira na ishod. Nažalost, nikada nisam dobio nikakav odgovor. Smatram da je ovakav način komunikacije veoma neprofesionalan i ostavlja loš utisak o kompaniji, bez obzira na to kakav je konačan ishod selekcije.

Javili su se brzo i organizovali smo intervju, prvi deo je bio sa kolegom iz tima koji je objasnio vise o poziciji i radu, drugi deo je bio sa HR, standardna pitanja, kako se vidim u nekim situacijama, moje mane i vrline itd.. Dogovor je bio da se jave za do najkasnije 2 nedelje i posalju zadatak koji treba da se uradi i posle toga brani, posle skoro mesec dana dobijam mejl da su se odlucili za drugog kandidata koji je u toku prezentacije resenja uradjenog zadatka pokazao vise razumevanja procesa i tehnickog znanja. Sve bi to bilo super i validno da sam ja uopste dobila zadatak da uradim. Mejl nakon mesec dana gde me odbijaju za nesto sto nisam ni dobila priliku da uradim

As FishingBooker emphasizes transparency as one of its core values, I would like to offer equally transparent and honest feedback regarding my experience in your hiring process. After submitting two voice recordings and my CV, I was invited to the Open Day (second round), which lasted an entire working day and was conducted fully in English. This required me to take a day off work and invest a significant amount of personal time and effort. A few days later, I was informed that I had successfully progressed to the final, third round – the Cultural Fit interview – again conducted entirely in English. During this final interview, I was asked whether I would mind working on adopting a more American accent, as I was told that “our captains communicate better with support agents who have an American accent.” I clearly stated that I was open to improvement and willing to work on it. Despite completing all three stages and expressing flexibility, I was later informed that the owner was consulted about the possibility of an accent-related course and declined, stating that people are needed immediately. This effectively ended my candidacy. I find this outcome highly problematic. Rejecting a qualified candidate after multiple interview rounds — based not on English proficiency, clarity of communication, or professional competence, but on the absence of a native American accent — is, at the very least, discriminatory and deeply unprofessional. Throughout my international career, English proficiency and effective communication were always the standard; never once was a native American accent a requirement. This has not been an expectation in any serious international company I have worked for. FishingBooker often positions itself as the “Booking.com of fishing.” However, with hiring practices such as these, that comparison is difficult to justify. Global companies value diversity, competence, and inclusive communication — not accent-based filtering that borders on linguistic and cultural bias. This approach does not encourage qualified and experienced candidates to apply. On the contrary, it discourages them, as the process requires a substantial investment of time while offering little transparency about non-negotiable criteria that ultimately disqualify them. Candidates who are otherwise highly suitable may never be selected simply because they do not “sound American enough.” If a native American accent is, in fact, a strict requirement, it raises a valid question: why not hire Americans directly? Instead, local candidates are held to an arbitrary standard, while being offered compensation that would hardly attract U.S.-based professionals. I am sharing this feedback not out of bitterness, but out of respect for the value you publicly promote — transparency — and out of genuine concern for the candidate experience and your employer brand. I sincerely hope this feedback will be taken seriously and used to reflect on and improve your hiring practices going forward.
