Hi folks, I was wondering if anyone has experience of applying for Kroo Bank in the UK. They seem to use workable as a recruitment platform; and I put an application in a while back... but seen no response. Wondered if anyone has seen their applications go into a black hole, long turn-around times (over summer) or what? I can't seem to find any contact in Kroo itself -- everything bounces back to workable who say "go back to the company".

Not sure how it is in this specific case, but sometimes companies set up fake job advertisment to see if technology is feasibile (e.g. are there candidates, will people with experience apply, how many). Especially weird that they say "all levels"

That's kinda the weird thing; my experience is 30 yrs Software Engineering, and something like 5 years hobby-Clojure... but the posting was for "Software Engineer (All Levels)", so I would hope to find my way into the pipeline for some level 🤷. I just find the black hole thing a bit disconcerting.

Hai... that doesn't sound like a good experience. What's your profile / experience level?
