I recently had the weirdest interview in the last 15 years! The company is the USA based but Ukranian owned named SupportYourApp. Mainly dealing with Customer, IT, Technical support.
So, here is what happened:
HR Interview
The HR video interview was with an AI bot, the questions were standard as they would be at any initial interview (something about yourself, interests, hobbies, early career). There was a presentation on how the process with the contract, obligations and rights, etc. administration goes.
But, after the technical part (point 2. below), unusual questions followed:
- Are you applying to other companies, and which are those companies? At first I was silent for a few seconds, wondering if it was really asking this. I avoided naming companies of course, but I said that I was actively looking for a job and applying to jobs that suited me. To which it reacted with: "Hmm alright."
- Are you engaged in any side job or project? I replied that I am not professionally engaged at the moment and that I am looking for a permanent full-time job. It commented in the style of: "It is ok if you do something on the side, it is not forbidden." If I had said that I was doing something small, I believe it would have resented it and that I would have had to quit my side job.
- When you decide whether to accept a job offer or not, where do you find information to make your decision? Literally tell me where (blogs, forums, etc.) you read about us so we know where we are being talked about... I briefly replied that glassdoor is a good source of information about companies.
The entire interview lasted 45 minutes, and was like a rollercoaster of different approaches, question styles, and strange behavior of the bot.
If this is the future of job interviews, we'd better start digging potatoes.
Technical Interview
The technical part was about the technologies that were written in the ad. The questions were informative and to show knowledge.
But, because it is a bot, and not a human, there were a lot of interruptions. Some of the questions had sub-questions and required longer answers. With longer answers, it's normal to pause for 1-2 seconds to prepare your thoughts for a further answer. That pause for the bot meant the end of my answer and it gave me another question. Also, the bot would jump in while you were explaining, and you start to wonder if any human would even listen to this and make a decision about the answers.
I keep thinking that these interviews with bots are just training for their AI.
