I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at TransPerfect (Turijn) in Oct 2021
Interview
I applied for the position of freelance subtitler. I had to take an unpaid test which I had to prepare and study for in advance. I passed the test and had to sing tons of paperwork.
The project was going to start a couple of weeks later and I was sent an additional cumpolsory training to complete: it took over 4 hours to complete the whole training.
All of this was unpaid.
When, over three weeks later, I asked about the project, my contact person at Transperfect (who had had me go through the whole process) replied he was just "responsible for the onboarding" and that "his job stops there".
I was left without further information and never heard from any PM at Trasperfect again.
I will definitely not work with them in the future.

Interview
Phone interview, which was just the beginning of a long testing process. We were on the phone for approximately a half hour in a very detailed and efficient interview. It covered specifically my experience as a translator in the scientific field, but she was also interested in clarifying any aspects for me.
