  • I applied to a small tech company back in late 2021, when everywhere was hiring like crazy. It was my first full time role, but I have my bachelor’s and had work experience.

    Overall I had:

    • a phone screen with the recruiter
    • a video interview with the recruiter for the specific role
    • a video interview with HR
    • a cognitive aptitude test online
    • a personality test online
    • an interview with a team member from the department hiring
    • a take home assessment that I completed then went over on a video call/interview with my would-be manager and the same team member

    I also had my credit checked, and had to provide 3 references which were all called.

    The job paid $36,000. Though it is definitely getting worse, these people have always been out of touch. My company was just ahead of the times, I guess.

    When I left last year, they had just excitedly announced that they would be using video interview question submissions for all candidates going forward. The only feedback I gave in my exit interview was that I wouldn’t apply today with the required video interviews.
