Me postulé en línea. Acudí a una entrevista en Vodafone (Budapest) en nov 2019
Entrevista
I applied online. Apparently the European hiring process is different from the US one, because I was cold called by a recruiter without even receiving an email what would be a good time to chat. Good thing I was not riding on a bus or in the middle of a meeting.
Anyhow. The recruiter explained that she will send me an email with a "homework" assignment (aka coding challenge) which I need to complete in a few days. But before I even do that, they want to go through an automated video interview which is conducted by HireVue, and I need to do the video interview before I even start on the homework assignment.
I was shocked about the discrimination process they employ. They even spell it out that they want to see your face to make a determination whether you look good for us or whether you are in the "correct" age group.
I did the coding assignment just for fun - which I have sent back to them - and then I withdrew my application. I don't want to work for a company who is obviously trying to discriminate based on looks and possibly age. Not to mention, on their application page they have an optional dropdown where you could select your age group! WHOA! How come nobody sued these people yet...? LOL

There was none, except to do an automated video interview before I start on the coding assignment.

Everything was nice and friendly. Sadly, they didn't answer until I wrote to the recruiter.
