Lately I've had a couple of larger companies pointing me to companies like Hirevue or Spark to do a digital interview for a position. You go sit in front of your camera and “audition” for the job by answering whatever questions they've added. Hirevue used to have some creepy stuff on their website about doing AI candidate assessment off of the submitted videos too.
I've only consented to doing one (Hirevue) and it was intensely awkward. Overly broad technical questions with limited time to answer, no ability to record your answer again, and obviously no feedback from the other side. All for the promise that some hiring manager might decide to sit down and watch it. This was for a senior level engineering job, something that would have paid well over 100k, and they couldn't be bothered to screen with a person.
So, I got another one last night and told them I'm no longer participating in auditions because I want a job and not a role on a TV drama. I did tell them I was more than happy to have a chat with someone in person. Interestingly, not heard back from them š
Have you ran into one of these? What was your experience? Would you do it again?
