I was a little bit skeptical when I created my account on JobRack and started to look for remote jobs, also being influenced by some of the reviews I've read here on Trustpilot, but honestly, for me, the whole process was transparent and straightforward from the beginning. On the very first application for a job I found, I got a reply from the JobRack Recruiter within a day or two - passed a graphic design test, followed up with an interview with the recruiter, but didn't go past that stage.After that, I applied for 3-4 more jobs and got a reply for one of them also within a few days. This was the process:1. Initial application with my portfolio and CV2. A short video recording introducing myself3. Test of skills (graphic design in my case)4. Interview with the JobRack recruiter5. 3 Interviews with the company that listed the job posting in a span of 10 days or so6. Sent my recommendation letters from past employers7. Got selected and offered a contractFrom my initial application to getting offered a contract - the whole process took about a month.I know this process seems very long for people from the Balkans, but since the company was a US company - this is just standard procedure there. I had prior experience working for a US company so this wasn't something new to me.Esther - the recruiter from JobRack was really great and helped me a lot, answered all of my questions, and communicated a lot with the hiring company - 5 stars for Esther :) My advice for people applying for jobs:Try to showcase your work as best you can - a good portfolio goes a long way.Be patient with the process, especially if it's a US company.Believe in yourself and that you are a capable candidate. Confidence matters.Advice for JobRack:Maybe try to be more transparent and open about your process of selecting qualifying candidates. Create an official YouTube channel and make videos explaining clearly how the process works, why a test is important and necessary, why multiple interviews are necessary, and showcase success stories - all of these things bring trust. There's nothing worse for people actively looking for jobs than applying without knowing the next steps and waiting eagerly for replies.All in all - I'm satisfied with the platform, and I hope my first job goes well. I start Monday - Cheers :D
