I was invited to an initial 15 minute screening process by Oli Ridley and instructed I would take a technical interview with an AI and a suitability to work assessment.
The suitability to work assessment amounts to nothing other than navigating a quiz and choosing the most agreeable option presented to obtain a score of 100%.
The AI assessment is dehumanising. You present your answers verbally to it while it responds positively to even the most incorrect answers. For whatever reason, it cut out on me halfway through and I had to reattempt it from the start with the transcript from the previous conversation still preserved.
Realistically, the AI assessment has no way to detect you searching the answers on your phone as there is no camera, so that's the best approach to it. It's not the approach I took, but honesty doesn't pay it seems. It doesn't engage in the back and forth of a real interview either to hone in on exactly what skills it's asking you to demonstrate.
Oli Ridley then sent me a follow-up interview invitation to go over why I missed out on the role. A great opportunity to express my thoughts to him, right? On the day and time, booked 2 days in advance, he didn't bother to show up.
