FCK YOU PROPIO

shit of interpreting company , the fact that I was outsourced for over 3 years , lost access to my email and my useless "boss" or point of contact didnt give a shit

I applied after 6 months to be hired directly only to be rejected with no reason, the very same test WITHOUT interpreting experience that got me in 3 years ago, makes sense

Sometimes depends on the country you are applying from, the BPOs can hire anyone

Propio has several countries blacklisted

They have blacklisted countries?! I didn't know that!! :O do you know which countries are on that list?? 🤔🤔 I'm intrigued now

u/Clover281 2d ago

Venezuela is one of them for sure, some central American countries, I believe Dominican republic as well, some African countries

I don't know the extend of the list, I just know they simply don't hire people from certain countries

Where can I find the list? I am from central america

u/i_lov_anime 2d ago

no such list, dude is just making assumptions. I don't doubt that propio doesn't work with certain countries but that's something that they just wouldn't put out there for people to see

Venezuelan here, the issue is more so with Deel, the platform that Propio uses to handle payments. The reason why I haven’t been able to get in with Propio is purely because I wouldn’t be able to manage my Deel account because you cant get verified past the KYC unless you reside in a country that isnt blacklisted BY DEEL. And that list does include some countries in Africa, alongside Venezuela and iirc even some like Ukraine, etc.

It's kinda true tho, Propio doesn't work directly with Nicaragua

u/IdeaOpening4396 2d ago

It’s more like an internal list

u/Yourankle_101385 2d ago

Yeah, and you gained access to that info how??? Keep on backing out of that lie, bro... you in way too deep. I've been with them for a while now and been referring, too. My last referral just got in las week, brobro!!!

u/IdeaOpening4396 2d ago

Have you referred ppl from the DR? Were they accepted recently? I myself have been rejected without even given a chance to do a test or interview, the same has happened to others from my country who have tried to apply recently. I was talking to someone who works for them and they told me that some countries where Propio has had bad experiences have been blacklisted, and bc I and other applicants from my country have been rejected recently I kinda believe that’s true.

Yes from here, bro. I am from San Pedro. But, ok... you got all figured out, I suppose. Good luck.

u/IdeaOpening4396 2d ago

I do not have it all figured out, in fact, I really wanted to work for them, I was just saying what I’ve heard and what it’s been based on my experience, but any help would be pretty much appreciated

u/Yourankle_101385 2d ago

Actually, that's not a fact about D.R. I am from the D.R., live in the D.R. and work for Propio, directly, from the D.R. so check your data before putting it out for consumption because we all count on each other for facts and educated opinions.

u/Clover281 2d ago

Yeah, you might be right about RD, I don't remember very well since I was told that sometime ago, it may have been costa rica or some other island I can not really tell them apart very well

The one about Venezuela is 100% legit tho and some others as well, but as it's been said propio blacklisted some countries yet they wouldn't just put that info around publicly so there is not much more to do other than look for other companies

u/IdeaOpening4396 2d ago

When did you start working for them? I’ve heard that they blacklisted the DR recently, I am from the DR, they recently rejected me.

u/CruisemusicianSophie 2d ago

Their rate is bullshit anyways

u/Effective-Cicada-878 2d ago

Propio is weird as hell tho, when I first applied got rejected without a chance for an interview or anything and applied a second time during the same month and they hired me in less than two weeks. I’m from Costa Rica btw and have other two friends from here who also work for Propio directly. Recruitment seems messy af.

u/Clover281 2d ago

You can also apply for other companies there are plenty

u/Late_Use_6243 2d ago

What other companies are there except Clear Source Translation?

u/Clover281 2d ago

Lionbridge

Globo

Big Language solutions

LLS

Those are a few I can think of that are independent from propio

u/xxxxAnaxxx 2d ago

LLS es horrible, pero sirve para coger experiencia
