I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Booking.com (Moscow, Moskva) in Jun 2021
Interview
I applied at the end of May for the Freelance Translator role, submitted my test in a week, and - nothing. Zero.
In mid-June, I applied for the full-time Language Specialist role, which is close to Translator's one, but different. Both positions required different types of language online tests. I have not heard anything from Booking.com for four months. Finally, today I received a rejection for the Freelance Translator role. What was sad was that apparently, they linked it with the bad results of the Language Specialist role, which is inaccurate. I was very frustrated because I am sure my freelance test was excellent and perhaps they simply made a wrong connection between test results and role title (as I applied to both with a small time gap).

There is no job interview. As a freelancer, you need to complete a translation test (hotel description or marketing content), and if you pass the test, you are asked to provide your personal and business data.

Interview
Failed the probation period. The language specialists(Traditional Chinese) are too picky. I really doubt whether they have set the entry standards too high, judging from the quality of some of their current translations.

Question 1
There is the translation test. Then there is a probation period, during which you have to undertake 3 tasks, which determine whether you will finally be hired.
