Hi Olivia,

I sent an application via email on the 13th of October, and I was hoping to receive a response either way. Thanks.

Every month this company posts here for the same positions and there is always a chain of comments underneath about how they don't respond. I don't think they're actually trying to hire anyone lol.

Their recruiter reached out to me on linkedin. I replied to just ask what they do. It's been two weeks.

Hi Morley,

I apologize for the late reply. I sent over some responses to your questions and happy to answer any other ones you might have!

Throwaway so as to not associate with my main account.

1. They always copy paste their comment every month (been noticing since May)

2. They never reply to emails sent (neither confirmations nor updates)

3. A friend interviewed there for a support role - they had a 1 hr long exam of sorts (on paper with pen in a room with other candidates)

As for what they do...it's some kind of education startup that seems to have some traction(enough to hire ~50+ engineers and easily ~25+ support staff) in Canada and USA.

Hi Daniel,

We are continuously hiring for both the Full stack and Mobile roles! We review all applications and reach out if there is a good fit. If there isn't a fit right now I would be happy to reach out in the future.

Best, Olivia

Hi Charles,

Thanks for your interest in Top Hat. I will reach out if there is a good fit!
