Our platform strives to attract and connect with top talent across Latin America and Europe, so you can expect your interview to be rigorous and thorough. We are looking for candidates who not only have exceptional technical experience but are also able to effectively collaborate in a team environment, prioritize long-term, full-time commitments, and are willing to integrate into the company and its culture.
Consider these tips when preparing for your interview with TeamEx:
Thoroughly research your role: Whatever niche in the tech industry you’re in, you should have a comprehensive understanding of the skills and responsibilities associated with your role. Remember, you must be prepared to provide examples of your past projects to show you are qualified for our client’s roles.
Practice answers to common questions: Although you cannot predict what TeamEx will ask you during the interview process, you can practice thoughtful answers to common questions.
Reflect on your experience and skills: Take time to reflect on your past experience, accomplishments, and skills. Giving examples of collaboration, leadership, and technical expertise during your interview will show that you’re well-versed and dedicated to providing excellent work.
Demonstrate confidence: We want you to present yourself authentically during your interview. That being said, confidence is key to making a positive impression at TeamEx. It showcases your own faith in your abilities and demonstrates credibility regarding your skill set.
After You Join TeamEx
If you’ve successfully passed through the interview and application process, you’ll become a valued member of our talent pool. You’ll be ready to move on to the next stage, which involves setting up a profile and receiving offers for our clients’ job positions.
Complete Your Profile
Your TeamEX profile will be your first interaction with potential employers, so again, it’s paramount to make the best first impression possible.
Here are some key elements to take care of:
Select a professional photo for your profile: You can take this photo yourself, but just remember to wear clean, formal clothes, preferably in a solid color, along with a plain and well-lit background. Make sure the photo is in focus, and, most importantly, don’t forget to smile. Appearing friendly and approachable is just as important as possessing the relevant expertise for roles.
Set your time zone correctly: Such details will ensure that our recruiters and clients will be aware of the hours when they can count on you to be present and responsive.
Set your availability: This is important to signal that you’re open to job invites and actively looking for employment opportunities.
Remember to update your preferences regularly: Reflecting any changes in your schedule will ensure our recruiters have accurate information to work with.
Review your profile for any grammatical errors or typos: Taking the time to make final checks will significantly enhance your chances of catching the attention of our recruiters. TeamEx’s talent pool is highly competitive, so you’ll want to do your best to stand out.
Set Your Rate
You’ll also be prompted to set your rate. We advise doing plenty of research at this stage to make sure you’re not overpricing or underpricing yourself.
Check the industry standards and market conditions to gain insight into how much you should charge for your services.
Remember to periodically review and adjust your rate to stay competitive and align with fluctuating market trends.
By doing plenty of research when setting your rate, you can ensure that you’re being fairly compensated while also maximizing your opportunities on the TeamEx platform.
Look Out For Emails
Once your profile is set up, it’s ready to be viewed by our recruiters and shared with clients that best match your skills, culture, and values. At this point, all you need to do is wait to be contacted, which typically takes between a few hours and several days.
Regularly check your emails and notifications to make sure you don’t miss a job invite.
Respond to invites quickly: As we operate on the first-come, first-served principle, your prompt response is critical.
Upon a client announcing the available position, our recruiters select and contact the best matching tech professionals. When you respond quickly to the invite, your details will be sent to the client.
Remember that If you fail to respond promptly to a recruiter, the opportunity will be given to another candidate, so keep a close eye on your inboxes.
Contribute to the Community
Your ideas matter to us and other talent, so we urge you to contribute to our Slack community. Why is it vital to stay active on Slack?
By staying active, engaging in discussions, and contributing suggestions, you can make a meaningful impact on the TeamEx community and help other professionals using our platform.
Staying active on Slack will also indicate your engagement and dedication, which means you’ll be considered a valuable part of our community.
During Your Contract
Your responsibility and the need to maintain your reputation do not end with receiving and accepting an offer. Here’s how to ensure the best experiences for you and the client.
Perform at Your Best
During your contract, you should provide clients with exceptional service. In two or five years, when the current job is complete and you’re open to a new role, we’ll consider your previous performance. If you’ve clearly shown professionalism during your contract and delivered high-quality work, it can significantly enhance your prospects for future opportunities on TeamEx.
Ensure Seamless Communication with the Client
Impeccable communication and responsiveness are vital. For example, make sure to be openly communicating with your clients. Corporate Recruiters Survey reported 70% of employers globally considering communication skills the most desirable in new hires. Moreover, research shows that nearly 50% of workers report that ineffective communication impacts job satisfaction. If you fail to communicate with your client, it can lead to misunderstandings and missed deadlines. So, remember to keep your clients informed of the project process, propose solutions, and give constructive feedback whenever possible.
Integrate Into the Company
Go the extra mile and actively try to integrate into the team and the company culture to open up the possibility of long-term collaboration. This includes familiarizing yourself with the company’s values and mission, seeking opportunities to collaborate with team members, and participating in workplace activities.
Be Honest
Both TeamEx and our clients value honesty.
Never delegate work to others behind the scenes without clients' informed consent.
Communicate openly any current challenges with your employer and team.

Final Thoughts
