BerlinPosted Mar 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My interview was entirely through an AI platform that asked questions based on what I submitted and how it aligned with the job description.

Instead of typing answers, I recorded live audio-video responses while the AI monitored me too.

What I found most important was making sure my answers matched what I had already told it about my background. The AI kept tying the questions back to my own inputs, so the whole experience felt like it depended on how well I framed myself at the start. Overall it was quick in format and very AI-native—less like a traditional interview and more like responding to an adaptive prompt system.
