First interview. Basic questions about resume were asked. German C2 level was a hard requirement, and that was the reason behind my rejection as mentioned by the recruiter. I had already applied with a CV, which clearly said that I have B1 in German; nevertheless, I was invited for an interview just to be told over and over that I do not have enough German skills. Moreover, I recently found out that someone else, with no experience in AI as such and with no C2 certification, was hired. In hours. From interview to an offer. I wish lot of success to this company but I would appreciate if successful startups showed some responsibility and did not take fake interviews in cases where they had already have selected a candidate. It's no joke in this tough job market to apply for months with no positive responses.
