Just did an “AI screening” using a company called Braintrust /u/zxyzyxz CSCQ protests reddit

I probably should’ve seen this coming given the pace of LLMs and text to speech to text these days. It’s basically a 15 min interview that you’d normally have with a recruiter or an engineer where the AI interviewer is a text to speech engine that asks you questions about your resume as well as questions that the client company can provide, like “tell me about a technical challenge” or “project you’re most proud of” etc. Honestly, the text to speech was not bad and it actually seemed like it understood enough to give me detailed follow up questions. But I guess this is what this industry has come to.

The company that does this is at https://www.usebraintrust.com/
