I "interviewed" using this process a couple of months ago, it seemed pretty sus but I was getting a little worried about my job prospects so I thought it would make a good story at least 🧵
Excited to introduce the world’s first AI interviewer, gpt-vetting.
With gpt-vetting, you can interview 100x more candidates in less time & candidates get a more enjoyable, gamified, and less biased interview experience.
You define the skills you want the interview to focus on, gpt-vetting asks verbal questions, and then jumps into a coding exercise. You then review the report that includes an AI assessment of each tech stack, and a trust score.
In its beta, gpt-vetting has already conducted 13,000 AI interviews, saving ~10k hours for software engineers who would otherwise be conducting technical interviews.
As shown in the video, I was supposed to list some skills to be interviewed on and then I got AI-generated questions that I was instructed to answer by speaking into my microphone. They were also supposed to record my screen and camera but fortunately that didn't work (2/n)
The recruiter I spoke to told me to list DSA (data structures & algorithms) as one of my skills but I forgot to do this, so afterwards I was invited to a Zoom call where someone (from India?) asked me a simple coding question. After I answered they quickly ended the call (3/n)
I was invited to a Slack workspace filled with a bunch of other devs, and asked for my hourly rate. They also kept spamming me with emails telling to to complete a required "AI-powered engineer" course and update my availability every so often (4/n)
About a week later, I was invited to yet another interview, with someone from a "client" company. They described the role, essentially a glorified data labelling position writing code to be fed directly into an LLM. Then they asked me a relatively simple technical question (5/n)
Some reasons I declined:
- They intended to pay me using PayPal, which seemed extremely sus
- I wasn't allowed to list my actual employer on my resume
- Work seemed extremely unappealing
- I thought I could probably do better
(7/n)

If you've read this far, you might be wondering who the actual employer would have been: in the interview prep document I was told to watch this video and honestly it was the final nail in the coffin for me piped.video/watch?v=HsQ8Xkhk…
