Ang lala ng ibang applicants nowadays
Hi! Long post ahead! Pa-rant lang kasi grabe experience ko today, not sure if this is some type of a scam, pero ngayon lang to nangyari after 3 years of working as an HR. So today, I scheduled 2 devs for technical interviews with the CEO and our lead.
1st applicant, he was okay during the initial interview, very confident when answering and he ticked of all the boxes. I already had some doubts bec. when I asked questions, nagppause sya ng 5 seconds and then he will answer naman. I saw that he was looking on the side pro subtle lang so I thought maybe meron lang syang guide while answering and the 5 sec pause is due to internet. Then eto na nga while nasa tech interview na, he was okay the first 15 mis na kahit CEO hindi inexpect na he’s using AI bec he answers very confidently and fluent pa - then middle of interview nabuking sya bec nahuli sa 1 question so we had to cut off the interview.
2nd applicant, the person na initerview ko during initial was a filipino guy from Mindanao and he answers very good din that’s why I scheduled him for a tech interview, interview came and ibang tao yung umattend (chinese) claiming that he’s that person, we had to cut the interview again.
Sobrang lala kasi they wasted the CEO’s time and parang napahiya din ako since I’m the one who scheduled the interviews. Sa mga nagaapply jan, be fair naman, nakakaloka lumaban naman kayo ng patas. Not sure if this is an ongoing case, pero most applicants are Chinese with Filipino names. Nakaka loka!
