Has anybody been recruited "automatically"? (programming.dev)

There's this new thing (to me) going around called "automated recruitment". From contacting candidates, to assessment, to (sometimes even) job offer, the person just goes through a pipeline. There are a few products that provide this experience and others that only do a part (contact, assessment, contract + onboarding, whatever else).

I ended up in one of these pipelines and was assessed by TestGorilla, which was a very unpleasant experience. So I'm curious if someone got through something similar and what their experience during and afterwards (working in a place like that) was like.

Some of these recruitment things are scammers based in North Korea. Be careful out there, especially if they want you to download something for their "assessment".

"a software," "a malicious code" ... classic.

Classic.
