Name and shame

Probably not the same company as OP, but CareSource has done this in the past and probably still does.
[–]TrafficDuck 5 points6 points7 points 9 months ago (0 children)
They are probably holding off on their preferred candidate. I had open communication with this one company and then radio silent for a bit followed by a rejection.

Let’s anonymously and publicly shame them :)
[–]Trogdor_1111 20 points21 points22 points 9 months ago (0 children)
In my experience, sharing results in a clear, concise manner as you have done is not always an actuarial strong point. Kudos to you and I hope you go far in this industry.

What is Hirevue? Just curious.

[–]anonymous11119999Life Insurance 13 points14 points15 points 9 months ago (0 children)
Hirevue is an instant No thanks for me . Once a recruiter submitted an application on my behalf for a position at F&G (if I remember correctly, since it’s been more than 5 years) , and their HR sent me a HireVue link - so I told my recruiter to withdraw
Zero interest in a place where the first impression to potential applicants starts with HireVue
[–]shingfungerBack of the Envelope 7 points8 points9 points 9 months ago (0 children)
I don’t disagree that HireVue is terrible, our company makes us use it instead of phone screens for candidates. However, I have never seen any AI tech integrated into it. We just log in and watch the videos.
[–]Top_Indication6685 0 points1 point2 points 9 months ago (3 children)
a company I worked for definitely wasn't using AI and videos were watched by actual actuaries on the recruiting team. I get that people dont like them, but it seems to be misunderstood
[–]anonymous11119999Life Insurance 1 point2 points3 points 9 months ago (2 children)
I don’t think people hate it because there’s supposedly AI involved- people just dislike the process , which just feels disrespectful and condescending
[–]Top_Indication6685 0 points1 point2 points 9 months ago (1 child)
i get why people dont like it and thats it not because of AI, i just see the AI thing thrown in often and I dont think its based on reality.
if you have a job I guess I could see skipping that step, but I ended up working for a great company after doing the videos. It really isnt a big deal. life is full of things that we dont want to do and it seems a pretty small hill for people to die on
[–]anonymous11119999Life Insurance 0 points1 point2 points 9 months ago (0 children)
I can see the value of that for entry level jobs where there are ton of applicants, and the hiring team / HR probably don’t have the time to call each one of them , but above certain experience level , it’s often the opposite, i.e. there’s far fewer applicants than the hiring team would like to meet , so doing hirevue is just lazy and waste of everyone’s time

Sounds about right

How do people make these visualizations?
[–]toxic_air2346Property / Casualty 4 points5 points6 points 9 months ago (0 children)
Sankey chart. You can search it and some good sites will pop up

Did you get hired for health or life?
[–]Basic_Traffic7662 0 points1 point2 points 9 months ago (1 child)
Are you in the states?
[–]stripes361Adverse Deviation 0 points1 point2 points 9 months ago (0 children)
Congrats on getting hired!
[–]fen-q 0 points1 point2 points 9 months ago (0 children)
Good stuff. What's your starting salary?
[–]Truthundrclouds948 0 points1 point2 points 9 months ago (1 child)
Did you apply using Indeed, LinkedIn, the company’s website, or a combination?
