Hi All, How interviews going on I have seen interviews taking from offline ins some companies rather than online- Grapevine

Recently I have been interviewed by a company and cleared the first round. Then I had 2nd round of the interview conducted through intervue.io which is a outsourced platform. The interviewer was least bothered to know what I am doing in my current role and how I can contribute to org but only conducted interviews by posting code snippet to solve. Do you think it is right way to conduct interviews? Please share your experience

Why companies have made interview so hard?

Lead Engineer

Why these HR’s not ready to provide feedback after the interviews round .

I am not getting if candidates attended interviews for 1hr / 45 min /30min at least they deserve feedback doesn’t matter if it’s positive or negative .

It’s better to accept negative/positive feedback instead of keeping hope . This is big demotivating for us.

It’s a request to all HR’s please don’t play with our times. And one question why you are more active before setup the interview and then act like dead .

I dont understand the need for F2F interviews as last round or even worse everything in F2F.

During pandemic we have all seen the effectiveness of virtual work setup, meetings, hiring and what not.

How would the assessment of right candidate differs with F2F which Virtually can't be done?🤔🤔

why F2F interviews still mandatory

Hello boys, gals and all other pals!

I am switching jobs rn and I have offers from a European auto anc in Bengaluru and one in Chennai.

Ceteris paribus, I wanted to know how much of a difference does being in Bengaluru make interms of future job opportunities

Are there a lot of walk-in interviews for companies based out of there, job fairs etc? Is there a subconscious or otherwise preference for candidates already based out of Bengaluru?

Also, how is Bengaluru in general for a 24M, single, introvert whose daily non-work activities include going to the gym, reading boatloads of stuff and watching sports?

Thanks in advance for the replies

What are the pros of moving to Bengaluru(24M)?

Question for both recruiters/HR managers & the job seekers. 

What do candidates think gets them the job?

What do recruiters think the candidates that makes it easier for you to offer them the role?

How are companies evaluating candidates in virtual interviews?

So basically I don't hesitate in challenging the interviewer if I feel like they don't know how to interview a senior candidate

so during many interviews, this is how I have caught them off guard:

1. The interviewer was asking me technical questions and expecting to explain properly throughout. So at the end i asked him about the tech stack they use, he said Azure. I asked him why they use Azure and not AWS, to which he said "it's cheaper", i didn't let it go, i asked him for a proper technical explanation, his red face was worth seeing.

2. The interview asked me a hard DSA question, and I wasn't able to solve it properly, he didn't even give me enough hints, just expected me to solve it. So halfway I asked him, would you like to solve a DSA if I ask you right now, he said no because it's not his interview. To which I asked, are you afraid that you won't be able to solve? If you are going to reject me for not solving this question, would you resign if you aren't able to solve the question. He ended the call.

3. One interviewer was asking me absurd technical detailed questions. I asked him why are you asking such questions, he said he needs to know my thought process because he will work with me. I started asking him similar questions, he said he won't answer because it's not his interview. I said I also need to know your thought process because we'll work together, so you should also answer these questions, he had no reply.

4. The interviewer asked me about a challenging project that I had done recently. I don't like this question at all. So I said there wasn't any challenging project because I'm good at what I do so it's always easy for me. He moved on to the next question.

5. HR asked me why I resigned without an offer? I asked if it's mandatory? No reply.

Having some fun with the interviewers

Not sure whether this is something to tom-tom about. Talks more about the quality of interviewer & the approach taken by the person.   
  
 To be honest, they're well within their right to ask you a tough question and/or to test your thought process, that's their job. If you get so easily offended, you're probably not going to fit in, in the long term.  
  
 I'm sure there are better ways to communicate that the interviewer is asking you a lame question or there's insufficient information.  
  
 Honestly, I take tons of interviews, an hour spent interviewing is an hour spent not doing actual work and drop in productivity. Doubt if senior people would ever do this to waste 'their' time... (Forget yours). Sensible people wouldn't.  
  
 No offense, but with so many interviews going this way, maybe time to point the mirror the other way...

I'm curious about the interview process at these companies. Could anyone please share what they typically look for in candidates and how many rounds it usually takes?

Is it ok to give assignment as a recruitment process? Sometimes I feel it as a Fraud. Mainly companies with almost no presence on Internal. 

I received interview invitation from Nigeria based company. After first round they handed me an assignment of full stack project. Completing that assignment will take at-least 2 days and that company doesn’t have any presence on Internet. 

Should I submit the assignment?

P.S. Not GenZ, but relate to vibe as a concept

I've interviewed with multiple companies, and I'm starting to notice a pattern. 

Interviewers who:
- Have their cameras off
- Show up in old t-shirts, looking like they haven't washed their face or combed their hair
- Roll their eyes when the answer isn't what they wanted to hear
- Fidget around when you are speaking
- Look anywhere but at the camera
- Give in to itches all over the body 👀 
among many others 

If we as interviewees are expected to be presentable and excited, the least interviewers could do is put in a little effort to appear decent and engaged.

Is Interviewer vibe a thing?

I recently started interviewing after a period of about 5 years and I am very surprised about the change in the way interviews are conducted these days. I have now interviewed for few companies like Sitetracker, Avance Clinical, Iron Mountain and expedite commerce and each organisation had their first round as a fit check round which i’m unable to clear. Can you guys share some tips around it.

Has anyone seen this? I've given two interviews recently The first round was taken by AI. If you stick to Q&A, don't ask counter questions there's no way you can differentiate between humans / bots.

Maybe HR can make pixel perfect rangolis in future, TA tasks will be handled by AI only.

Put a comment company name if you've given an interview to an AI bot.

Interviewed by AI?

I created an account on intervue.com but my profile still hasn't gotten approved. 

I have ~5 years of experience. 3 at Microsoft (sde 1 to sde 2) and then Senior software engineer at GoDaddy

Has anybody tried Intervue and can help me with this?

Hey guys,
Facing this new trend, even after giving multiple rounds and performing great. No final feedback or offer received. Some other companies have not scheduled managerial rounds after clearing technical round. Happened with me in couple of companies.
On the other hand, Interviews are getting stricter if something not right in any of the interviews it is a straight reject. 
I think there are too many candidates and recruiter are not in hurry to fill position they are in wait and watch mode. It's like passive hiring that is happening recruiters/companies are open for great deals.

New trend(Passive Hiring) - taking all interviews and then not responding

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Now a days, candidate experience has been tossed out of window. Companies and Talent hunt team are expecting candidates to go through multiple rounds of interviews with no clarity on rounds held, with multiple reschedules and delays with lot of uncertainty. what grapeviners thoughts about it? is it fair to have this practice?

opinion on 7-10 rounds of interviews?
