The hiring process at Onebrief takes an average of 14 days when considering 1 user submitted interviews across all job titles. Candidates applying for Senior Software Engineer had the quickest hiring process (on average 14 days), whereas Senior Software Engineer roles had the slowest hiring process (on average 14 days).
The first round was a fairly standard recruiter call where we discussed the position, compensation expectations, and I had the chance to ask questions about the company and what they're working on.
The next round was a technical coding interview with a front-end focus in JavaScript, where the task was to introduce some new features into a basic full-stack codebase. After that came a 45-minute interview with the hiring manager.
Overall, I felt both rounds went well. However, after completing my hiring screen at the end of that day, I received an automated rejection email early the next morning. I was quite surprised, since both the coding round and the hiring manager round seemed to go smoothly.
I followed up with my recruiter asking for more information, as the process seemed to end very abruptly, but I never received a response. While the process itself was decent, I felt it was unfair to be rejected so suddenly without any explanation, especially when nothing obviously went wrong.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Onebrief in May 2026
Interview
Strict interview. First, recruiter interview, then second coding interview, failed at the coding exercise at step 2 of the process due to preparing for that exact question. Would not recommend unless you prepare for every possible question.
The phone call with the recruiter was great. They were knowledgeable, friendly, and provided detailed information about the job. The interview with the hiring manager was not so great. They were not friendly or welcoming, acted like a robot the whole time, and only responded with "ok". I felt like I was bothering them on their personal time or something by interviewing. The entire interview was just getting bombarded with random situational questions with zero feedback and minimal additional information about the role, and then getting "ok' as feedback after answering and nothing else.
