FAQ

Are automated technical interviews fair?

They can be fairer than ad-hoc screens when every candidate gets the same criteria, comparable questions, and reviewable scorecards.

Should automated interviews replace engineering interviews?

No. They should reduce weak-fit early calls and prepare stronger evidence for human engineering interviews.
