I applied for what seemed like a real senior CISO position on LinkedIn via micro1's platform. The job description was good, with good pay and remote options. After uploading my resume, I immediately went into a 45-minute AI interview with "Zara" where I had to record video/audio responses, followed by a 25-minute written test. The questions were smart and adaptive, which was initially cool. But right after finishing, the system wanted me to "complete more steps for my profile", which felt like more data collection, maybe even ID verification. No feedback on the job, no human interaction, and no clue if the job was even real - just that I was now in their "talent pool" for future jobs. It felt like a bait-and-switch: the ad made it seem urgent for a top exec role, but the process seemed more about grabbing my data (video, audio, text, resume) for their AI training than actually hiring for that job. I'm trying to get them to delete my data under privacy laws, and micro1 isn't making it easy. They weren't upfront about the data collection and it's unlikely I'll actually get hired for the role. The AI interviewer was technically advanced and asked good follow-up questions, but the whole experience felt exploitative due to misleading ads, a focus on data harvesting with little chance of actually getting hired, and privacy worries about recorded interviews. Be very careful if privacy is important to you.

I applied to a job that seemed to be with ZS Associates and got automated emails from micro1.ai for an "AI Interview." I never talked to a recruiter or got info about the job. The emails were automated and couldn't be replied to. The support wasn't from ZS. It felt weird because it seemed like I was going through their process, but it was just an automated test with no guarantee of a real job opening. It's not a scam, but it's confusing and unclear. They should be more upfront about their relationship with outside platforms and what these interviews are really for.

I kicked off an AI-powered screening interview by clicking an email link, which had to be done within a 48-hour window. I had to be on camera, answering questions shown on my screen. The AI recorded everything and could even give feedback or ask follow-up questions. There was also this part where I got two medical reports for the same patient visit and had to create a "correct" report in 20 minutes, though I wasn't really sure how to do that.

Technical System Design
Had an interview with their AI, it felt like a stress test to see how far they can push you. Webcam, mic, and screen were all recorded. Questions were spoken high-level design questions, not in code. The AI would give a Golang design problem about performance, moderately complex. After an answer, it would follow up with many more complex questions about the problem and expect one response for all. It felt like the follow-up questions were taking the initial question and escalating the complexity each time.
