The recruitment experience is absolutely terrible. Jobs are being advertised but never filled. Candidates are contacted through automation and AI months after applying. The system is completely broken.

They have no contact addresses for team members, and the AI bot (Zoe) fails to answer any questions, provide updated job specs, or reschedule interviews. It cannot understand any questions or requests and is not set up to put the candidate in contact with a person.

Really poor experience – it has not been set up properly at all, which gives me many doubts about the development in general here.

On realizing there was no job behind this, and no one is getting interviews past a recruiter, I requested to have my data removed. I discovered the DPO email is triggering a workflow not designed for it, and so is broken, throwing errors and not fulfilling requests.

Disastrous. There are a number of ethical and technical issues here which cannot be solved without hiring experienced human candidates, which the company is putting off with bizarre practices.

The recruiter was pleasant and efficient, but I had to find her on LinkedIn to get a job spec, as the job advertisement had been removed online and the original application was months previously.

Also, I found it a little difficult to understand why a team was allegedly looking for more than 15 years of experience for an SSE role. The experience they allegedly want is far, far, far above the position and budget they have – it's not going to happen. No one of that experience is applying for this position. It doesn't make sense, so I concluded there was no engineering team reviewing these candidates or roles at all. If there was, they would have interviewed them themselves.

I declined myself at first, except the position wasn't filled after a year, and I was curious why. I don't think they are hiring an SSE at all and are just writing back automated nonsensical nonsense.

It's a waste of my time and other candidates' time, but did provide a lot of insight into how things work at Workvivo and what the future for them is like.

Very little. A couple of CV questions, mostly they talked about Workvivo.

They also had an old CV due to the long time period in between the application and interview.

I knew by the lack of interest during the interview that there was no position here.
