Dublin, DublinPosted Mar 2026 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

Besides the HR screening, I also had a conversation with one of the team members I was supposed to join.

The moment that stood out was that the interviewer didn’t even turn on their camera, and the whole session felt strangely disconnected.

It wasn’t just a minor awkwardness for me—it genuinely made the interview feel like the decision had already been made. I remember walking away thinking I’d spent time on something that didn’t feel fully respectful or engaged.

I didn’t get an offer. My reflection was that even if the content of the interview isn’t the biggest part, the presence and engagement of the interviewer can completely change how the experience feels.
