I don't conduct interviews in that manner. It is more important for me to know that I can trust your words and that you are aware of your limits, so you can learn any missing skills on the job.

For example, if you have 3 years of working experience and claim, "I know Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, GCP, Azure, Python, React, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and networking extensively," in 99% of cases, I can no longer trust anything you say.

As for the 1% hidden gem I might miss out on, I likely won't have the budget for them anyway.

I am in the process of recruiting a software engineer. You're on spot when saying "ask about human experience".

To add to your experience, I became increasingly suspicious of the "perfect fit" resumes. it's insane how so many people just put the right keywords. I think it might work to pass in larger companies where HR use automated systems to triage applicants.

I am honestly surprised that it's only 13% and not more. Is it because January was "normal"?
Scanning directly to a share folder? Scanning and sending to an email address.
Isn't that approach more of a brute force than a problem solved?

I have yet to find a better tool than the old Tensorflow projector: https://projector.tensorflow.org/

Granted, it requires to prepare your data into TSV files first.
