I Had a screening assessment with the recruiter which was reviewed by an AI, During the subsequent screening call with the recruiter I was essentially asked to respond to the AIs assessment of my assessment. Over all the AI seemed to be more focused on syntactical correctness and my ability to recall APIs verbatim there was very little focus on problem solving etc.
I was told I would have a prep call with a Tech Lead in about a week and was told this would be a informal technical interview where I would also be told what to expect in a more formal technical assessment done by Ovyo its self.
Several days later I was told we need to speed the process up and if I could take the assessment the next day, I agreed. It was conducted on Mettl an AI proctored exam/assessment platform. I needed to have my camera and mic on, I was told to disconnect my second monitor, disable any antiviruis, virtul devices and screen recording software. I was told if the AI detected anything that might be considered "cheating" it would end the assessment. It consisted of 25 multiple choice questions and a coding challenge which I had to complete in 90min.
The assessment asked questions regarding tech that had not been in the Job Description at all or tech that had been considered non essential requirements.
There was also a coding problem that focused more on problem solving abilities however having been asked questions about things that were not hard requirements in the Job description threw me off enough that I ran out of time to complete the coding exercise.
I told the recruiter about my experience and have not heard from them after a week even though I was told I would here back in a few days.
Overall I don't think the assessment is particularly difficult but if I had known a certain tech was a hard requirement I would not have applied because I have little or no experience with said tech.
I honestly get the impression that Ovyo did not read my CV and just sent a whole bunch of candidates tests and in the process disrespecting and wasting their time. On the surface Ovyo seems to be looking for Code Monkeys and not Software Engineers or Developers.
