Question to the community based on a hypothesis:

Do you find companies today interview without empathy, over-valuing technical skill, pressure tests, and first impressions?

A follow-up to this, if you’ve been hired by a company based on your skills, ability to perform under pressure, and first impression- did you feel you made the right decision once settled in your role?

I’m analyzing the evolution of interviews and a human-centered approach.

Hi, i got a call from Hucon consultancy, Hyderabad regarding ADP manager opening but they are asking adhar number. Is it normal process that ADP ask adhar number before scheduling any interview?

An external recruiter reached out, in the initial contact he asked what I currently make and never shared the comp range. I was at the tail end of Covid and didn’t think to ask, plus I shared my current comp (I know better!) that was already quite low for my experience. I asked today last interview to find the range. Recruiter responded that he thinks he put me in at the same exact amount. How should I address this? I was already under pd and this new role is more demanding.

What’s the best way to get to interview with Google? I have applied online you get only 3 roles to apply a year. Recruiter reached out and gave me two roles to apply but I hold it off since I felt less prepared.

I am looking at data scientist and product analyst L4 roles with 2 yrs US and 4 yrs overall experience.
