** MUST BE LOCAL AND INTERVIEW ONSITE. PLEASE ONLY SHARE CANDIDATES THAT CAN 100% INTERVIEW IN PERSON**
FEEDBACK FROM INTERVIEWS
Their experience was more aligned to what we refer to as a Backend Software Engineer - integrating APIs with the Conversational AI (Frontend) Engineer who develops the Member Facing experience. Sorry about not cleaning up the jargon - Hope I've answered your question.
** After completing the first-round interview with the candidate, we've decided not to move forward with them for the next stage. During the conversation, it appeared that the candidate may have been reading pre-written responses from their screen rather than speaking from personal experience. We also noticed a pattern of similar answers across multiple candidates (with candidates presented by other suppliers), which raised concerns that AI tools might be influencing their responses.
To help mitigate this issue in future interviews, we need to:
- Invite candidates to our Hartford office for an in-person interview.
