Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
These guys bring in interviewees from competitors just to ask them what their competitors are doing, where they're making money and try to steal ideas without any intention of actually hiring. Questions were less about my experience or skills and far more about what the firm was doing. Extremely shady practice, recommend not sharing any details once they start asking these questions as they have no interest in the candidate. Their interview process starts with the head of the entire business so that they can interrogate you on strategies. This is not usually the case in traditional hiring processes.
