Feedback Candidates Who Missed the Mark:

• Pass -Background mostly in hardware/integration testing for OEMs. Not quite the fit we are looking for in terms of analyzing behavioral software changes for testing.
• Pass - candidate has 3 very short (1 year) positions which is not a good fit.
• Pass- worked on the vehicle testing team which is not as relevant to the software testing experience we are looking for.
• She had trouble communicating specific details about her past experience and her python coding was not up to our expectations.
• We wont be moving forward. While his previous experience was relevant he didnt meet our expectations in terms of understanding/ clarifying the problem requirements and debugging in the coding exercise.
• Their experience is primarily in testing drones and sensors with limited exposure to software testing. As a result the role is not a good fit and we will not be moving forward.
