      Application

      I interviewed at Bitsight in Aug 2023

      Interview

      After the recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn, we scheduled a call, which was followed by a panel interview involving the hiring manager and a senior team member. Throughout the interview, they probed extensively into my experience, delving into qualifications not mentioned on my resume. This approach seemed unprepared and condescending. Subsequently, I received the expected rejection, but the experience left me feeling disrespected and as though my time had been wasted. Additionally, I couldn't help but notice what I perceived as negative body language or facial expressions from the senior team member, though I acknowledge it's possible I may have been overanalyzing the situation during the interview.

      Thank you for sharing your experience. While it doesn't seem to have been positive, I would like to take a moment to walk you through our process. We have implemented Structured Interviewing, which is a combination of behavioral and technical questions. This type of interviewing requires the interview team to ask every candidate the exact same questions, allowing for consistency. We ask questions that require you to give examples and share situations or projects that you have worked on in the past. If our recruiting team did not prepare you for this process, we apologize and I will make sure this is being done going forward. We launched this process and rolled out training in July of 2023. Now that we have been interviewing under this process for over a year now, we are confident the experience is more consistent and positive across the board.
