I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Alariss in Mar 2021
Interview
I applied in November & they told me in January that your application is really strong, please do a small exercise(I have mentioned those questions in 'interview questions' section), and in February I asked them my application status and they replied 'it was quite competitive and we hired someone else'.
And then again they contacted me in march and asked me if I am interested as they have a full stack position and I said yes. After a call & small 10 minute coding exercise, when I asked them my application status they again told me they have hired someone else.
These guys are not even hiring, they are just collecting data! Please at least don't lie that you have hired someone else(I know you didn't).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me following question:
What advice would you have for our dev team to improve our job marketplace, application process, and candidate matching process?
What tools would you use to scale to 200,000 applicants per year?
What creative ideas do you have to make the experience better for applicants?
Why do you think you would be a good candidate to help us implement these ideas?
