Interview as a service is a fairly new category of startups  in the recruitment process. Startups in this category help you to conduct interviews to save opportunity bandwidth for your internal team. Who can focus on their daily tasks.

Software Engineer

There is a market for it . https://risebird.io/ did prove that .. but guess they did not execute properly

Product Manager

A lot of the major recruitment firms already do that. They use external interviewers to conduct the technical interview rounds. Also, a lot of the companies won’t agree to that, since the interviews are the ones who would be working with the candidates directly, so they assess it from that standpoint as well.  
  
 We tried suggesting this model to Infosys and Mahindra & Mahindra in my previous Org. Unfortunately, they immediately turned it down.

I believe they might be skeptical if the candidate might or might not be a cultural fit.

Growth And Strategy

Can you elaborate what kind of thoughts are you looking forward to?

Isn't this what search firms do, to an extent? Albeit for slightly more senior roles.

Corporate Strategist

I've given interviews on intervue.io and interviewvector.com the experience as candidate was nice, they give flexibility to schedule time slots, and questions are company agnostic so less bias in the process. 
  
 person on other side seemed genuinely helpful than your avg disgruntled sde2 asked to take interview on Friday evening. 
  
 This should work out as win win for the hiring company (usually startups in my experience) and the platform

South Indian interviewers think they know everything, so they will mug up the solutions and give you a question which you have never come across. And if you provide a working solution other than their mugged up one, they are gonna straight away reject 😄.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

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

Hello folks,

Is there anyone who's working with thoughtworks? I have received an interview with them for a senior business analyst.

How is thoughtworks as a company

Business Analyst

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

I recently was asked this question by a very senior person in my organisation. I have 5yrs of work-ex but still not sure what's my ultimate calling..so want to know if people once they start working figure it out or just lie through

Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Do people lie or genuinely know?

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

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...

Senior Software Engineer

Hi guys I would like to get feedback on below ideas 
1. Personalized preparation for your dream company 
2. Salary negotiation as service 

What are your views on these 
I know there are ample resources available for these but have not seen any structured product/platform which offer these services.

Idea review

I just finished an interview with ServiceNow for a senior software engineer role and writing this up.

Anger rushed through my body after finishing the interview for multiple reasons.

reasons:
1. The interviewer joined 10 minutes late and he was very lethargic.
2. The questions he asked regarding my current job were very basic and then I realized that he should be fresher or should have 2 - 3 years of experience.
3. After the interview I checked his profile on LinkedIn and he was a 2021 graduate (as I guessed).
4. I don't understand why an organization assigns software engineers (2.5 YOE) as interviewers for hiring a senior software engineer(8+ YOE). It doesn't make sense to me.
5. Then the interviewer asked a basic DSA question, and I gave him the solution, now he was not familiar with the Python language hence intrigued about the implementation of the heapify in Python. I explained to him how Heapify works but still, he could not understand what it is.
6. The part I got pissed off is the interviewer's attitude of him knowing everything.
7. The interview was scheduled for 1 hour and we went overtime, it's okay to go overtime by 5-10 minutes., But this guy is taking more than 20 minutes. He din't have basic ethics of valuing candidate's time.

This is not my first interview with ServiceNow, this is my second and I had same feelings in the first interview as well.

It's okay for me to not grab this opportunity, but think about someone who is really struggling to get a job during this tough time, because of the interviewer being lethargic.

Hope ServiceNow focuses on their interviewing system and improves it.

ServiceNow interview is shit 💩

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?

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I'm a recent computer science graduate actively seeking internship opportunities in Product Management. I applied for a position at a fintech startup in Bangalore. After successfully passing the HR interview, they presented me with a case study involving an International Airline. My task was to propose and implement features to address the issue, which I complemented with UX designs. I advanced to the next interview round scheduled for last week, but no panel members joined the meeting despite waiting for 20 minutes. I contacted the HR, and they informed me that the panel was occupied and would reschedule. They rescheduled the interview for today at 4 PM, but at 3:50 PM, I received a call from the HR, notifying me that the panel was currently busy and rescheduling it to 6:30 PM. Just now, I received another call stating that the interview will be postponed to 12 PM tomorrow. This is only the initial round, with three more to follow.

I'm curious, is it typical for companies to follow such lengthy and multi-round processes when hiring interns?

Interview experience

I got a summer internship at Accenture as an Advanced App Engineering Analyst, started yesterday. There are good chances of PPO post the internship and if I get the PPO then my college does not allow me to sit for placements with the exception of very few companies, which would have the most competition. I really want to get into a product-based company for a full-time role. I applied to Accenture since it was a summer internship. 

So, considering the worst-case scenario where I join Accenture as an FTE with no other options, how hard is it to switch to a product-based company? I'm a good learner so I can learn the required skills and already have some unofficial experience with web development and did good on ML and DL courses of my college with good projects to showcase my skills in them.

Please let me know! I'd really appreciate your insights. Thanks

I'm having 1.5 years of experience and want to switch to Data science/ML profile I have relevant data analysis experience which used data base, python and Excel for analysis rest I have build models using machine learning. What interview questions should I expect?

Interview questions

Hi everyone,

I haven't encountered any platform that provides end-to-end services for job seekers. If there were such a service, would you use it? If yes, how much would you be willing to pay for it? The goal is to help people who have been laid off or are urgently looking for a job switch.

Initially, this is how it will work:

1. We understand your professional career and what you are exploring next.

2. We bundle all the premium job portals for you (part of the service).

3. You get a dedicated Account Manager (who can share more on this) who will apply to all relevant jobs on your behalf.

4. We provide CV/Resume preparation and customization.

5. In India, company HR typically does not want to talk to someone else (in our case, the AM), so we will later figure out how you will be informed about the applications.

6. Once shortlisted, we help you with interview preparation (customized specifically for that particular interview).

7. If you get an offer, we assist you with salary negotiation.

8. Your Account Manager will stay in touch with you indefinitely (think of it like a family doctor; the person can change, but whoever is your AM will know everything about you).

All came from personal experience, currently doing job hunting (got laid off last month)
