This trend is already in motion. I have been interviewing in Berlin for the past 2 months and most are using automated assessment now. The initial video interviews (if any) are 15 minutes or less with very young recruiters who have no idea what they are interviewing about. They all funnel into either Metaview video recordings or Test Gorilla. I'm not even talking about the tech assessments. Personality assessments are done on Test Gorilla and other services. Assessment links are the new Calendly links. Later video interviews usually involve people looking off-screen at a script or website. They also try to circumvent negotiations with these things. "Your offer will be based on our grading system from these test results so no desired pay range is required." These are modern startups doing this, not the giant megacorps. This most recent job search has been really impersonal and lame. Things have gotten much worse than just 5 years ago. I've been in the industry about 15 years now.
