There’s this new thing (to me) going around called “automated recruitment”. From contacting candidates, to assessment, to (sometimes even) job offer, the person just goes through a pipeline. There are a few products that provide this experience and others that only do a part (contact, assessment, contract + onboarding, whatever else).

I ended up in one of these pipelines and was assessed by TestGorilla, which was a very unpleasant experience. So I’m curious if someone got through something similar and what their experience during and afterwards (working in a place like that) was like.

    I’m in a privileged position as a veteran coder who somehow still uses and builds AI, from within the Vim editor session that I never figured out how to close.

    That said, I only work with human (free agent) recruiters.

    I send a polite “fuck off” to folks who want me to take a coding test.

    But, I do use my AI skills to translate the “fuck off” into a polite decline, in case I’m desperate later.

    I’m hot shit today, but that’ll change at some point. Hopefully I’ll be retired by then and spending all my coding time perfecting a Star Trek: Deep Space Nine PG-13 erotic fiction AI ghost writer.
