A very poor and impersonal experience. I did not have any direct communication with the hiring team, even with a referral from a current employee. Typically, for a client facing role, a member of the hiring team conducts a quick phone call to discuss experience, skills, achievements, hypothetical situations, and confirmation that the applicant is a good culture fit. I received an automated email via the recruiting team to record myself through a screening software they use. When you begin the interview, you activate your camera and microphone. You are then asked three separate questions. For each question, you have 30 seconds to around a minute to plan, then one minute to record your response. You are allowed one retake. With this interview process in place, it is nearly impossible to showcase any of your skills or achievements in a detailed manner. With no two way communication, the hiring team barely has any context on your experience. In addition to this, I did meet all the qualifications and more for the position, which does raise some red flags. While this process may save the organization time, many intelligent and capable applicants are likely slipping through the cracks. This is the most negative hiring process I have encountered so far in my career, and I hope that prerecorded screenings do not become the new norm in tech.
