Maybe because the interviewers are tired of interviewing and at the same time invigilating to ensure that the candidate is not doing any type of cheating. 
  
 Maybe it has become a Tom and Jerry kind of situation where sometimes Jerry beats Tom and sometimes Tom beats Jerry. 
  
 In F2F, one doesn't have to worry about or keep wondering about what innovative way the candidate might be using to cheat and how to beat them or catch them.

Understood but i feel like companies should be flexible enough to make amendments if possible. 
  
 And as of now i have experienced both type of companies who are like we will try if possible to make ot virtual considering the travel and all. Few are like arrogant who doesn't even bother to understand the interviewee situation.

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?🤔🤔

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?

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 .

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

Amdocs Interview Process

Welcome to Moving Abroad's Private Community

So I got a job offer from a company named pixel group Ltd based in kensas, USA for a frontend developer role. My base salary is $120,000. https://pixelgroupltd.com/ here is the homepage of the company. They are asking me to attend a 7 day seminar at the office at USA for onboarding and everything will be sponsered. But I got this offer even without a single f2f interview. 1st was a video resume round, 2nd was a technical round and 3rd was a psychometric test. That's it no f2f interview. Is it some sort of scam?? I can't find any details about the company. Please help me. 

Your offer letter, encompassing detailed salary structures, holiday lists, work timings, and the code of conduct, will be provided after your visit to the embassy for visa stamping post verification completion. 
This was also mentioned in the email.

Is this company a scam??

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

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?

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

I’m interviewing with one of the FAANG company, the interview process completed last week and recruiter have ghosted me. What are some valid reasons for ghosting? They could have just acknowledged and said will get back with more information when they have, instead of ghosting. Would you like to share some of your ghosting stories. I’m really anxious to know about the outcome that’s why this rant.

Why does recruiters ghost candidates?

Hello people,
We are building a recruitment platform to make hiring easy and fun. Having worked with a recruitment startup, we weren't able to hire for our own team. Hire first, fire faster mode ON tha humara.

So, we found this gap mostly in the early stage startups who don't invest in their recruitment properly.

So can you guys please share your experiences with landing a job with early stage startups.

Are Accenture calling to office for 2nd round interview

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Now why everyone is talking about benefits of working from office?
I saw post from Sunil Shetty on linkedin.

My take is, when pandemic hit companies asked employees to WFH to keep wheel rolling.
Now we know WFH can give greater control over personal and professional life(at least for me) we don’t want to go back to office.

In my opinion corporate want us to work from office cause,

- they can control our time, 9hrs in ofc, you are getting paid for time not skills.
- they want to show who is the boss here.
- Learning is key reason for WFO, bullshit, we have a lot of learning portals and traffic time can be used to learn but it is never a intention.

What you guys think?

WFH vs WFO

WFO- if you’re at entry level/early days of your career 
 WFH- works for mid- senior folks

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.

Being thankful in every little things brings contentment and self satisfaction! Yes indeed try it out. I have personally experienced it hence sharing the same. 

Here in GV I mostly see posts where people grumble about their salary being insufficient and rto is annoying etc, I really wonder how it was before covid ?! Did we have the WFH in TCS no right. It was clear that WFO was the deal and things were gng normal then. Suddenly the Covid changed the game yet haven't we see people working in banks, hospitals etc work from office only what if they say they don't like working from office. Pause to think!

It makes sense if you are not satisfied with your salary and justifying job role, eventually one can indeed look for elevation. Put your efforts and get that desired job and move on. That's being productive and optimistically. Grumbling is not the solution any day. I am OK if anyone reads this post and criticizes cus again that's not going to affect me. 

We must learnt to appreciate the little things and be Thankful to God for everything. Without this we cannot see any good in anything we receive in life. There will always be a void and that will never get fulfilled without the heart of contentment.

Be thankful!

To all the senior level employees here. Why do companies take so many rounds of interviews? Why can't they judge based on 2 rounds of interviews - 1 DSA and projects and other on System Design. 

The first round is any way a bogus round I feel. Years of education, work experiences and still it doesn't say anything about my qualifications. Also, all the rounds have same questions - Leetcode medium. Then how the fuck they are helping in final decision? Any lights upon these.

Why 4+ rounds of interviews

Org’s that conduct  6-7 rounds of interviews before rejecting a candidate.  Don’t you think the hiring process is broken ?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I know this will sound like a very biased opinion but just sharing my 2 cents of today’s market.

The way with highest probability of success, money and ensuring a better future for your future generations is to startup.

It has the highest risk, highest reward. But in today’s landscape: where inflation is always higher than your hike, there’s no guarantee of employment even in next 1 years, the effort to remain in top 1% is humongous and many other reasons like that, really make me feel that if you’re able to start a company and even capture 0.1% of market who’s willing to pay something for your service/product, that’s all you need. Of course the struggle doesn’t end there and you have to keep working for as long as possible? But your capacity to earn and provide for generations to come is much higher than working for someone else.

All disagreement is welcome :)
Just tired of running this race for years now and still never feeling financially secure.

The guaranteed way to success (if there’s one)

It depends, founding a startup is a 24/7. For me, I need the time that 9-5 jobs provide after work for my health issues. Also my current company is doing a lot of layoffs so everyday I start with uncertainty and anxiety, but cannot quit cos I need the income. We are definitely moving backwards in growth in this corporate slavery, expensive education and inflation. In India, Our entire identities is based on our jobs as though your life is useless if you don’t have one!!

Senior Designer

In last 30 days or so three times I was in the situation where hiring people said I will send your offer letter by eod, which obviously didn’t happen. In fact the position is kept on hold or priorities are changed.
This is pretty frustrating as well as confusing. I’m not able to understand how these people decide things. 

Every time I was pushed to go through whole hiring process with multiple rounds of interviews as quickly as possible (within 10-15 days approx) and then suddenly nothing.

I’m not sure why these peoples are wasting theirs as well as others time. This just feels stupid.

How should I tackle this situation going forward?

Hiring is broken

Product Manager

I have seen hiring manager that they ask for one question always. Why did you switch many jobs and also why do you want to switch now? 

Do we really think managers are unaware to covid, recession and job market?  

What's your take and tell me more these experience...
