Data Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I applied through a recruiter.

It was the least human HR interview I've ever had. I was reached out to by Doctolib HR on LinkedIn, and I decided to give it a try. I had a first HR interview. The HR was a really nice, experienced lady with a lot of experience at Doctolib. The first part was a normal HR discussion about the job and myself.

Then came the weirdest "technical" interview I ever had. I was asked in English some questions that were either super vague or about technologies that I did not have experience with, which I obviously told the HR beforehand. There were no follow-ups to any of my answers, obviously, as the HR was simply reading the questions out loud and recording my answers. A few hours later, I received an automatic LLM-written email telling me that my technical level was not good enough for this role. The LLM had interpreted all my answers and concluded I did not master the technologies I never used in the past. It also concluded my incomplete answers were wrong when I was asked vague questions. This felt really wrong. I shouldn't have to prove myself to an AI-boosted HR recruiter about my technical expertise.

Was this helpful?
