Thanks for your input. I appreciate you taking the time to share. Companies like Google and Amazon should make it clear in the beginning that their intent when it comes to these job posting is to collect market data and they're not really interested in hiring the candidate. It's totally fine to be upfront with this information because believe it or not, there are candidates out there just looking to practice there interviewing skills to improve. Obviously, these Technical Recruiters have a quota they have to meet for the numbers of candidates to interview for an opportunity each month so it looks like they are doing their job*(Recruiting). But as a Technical Recruiters, it would be a good idea to make that clear to the candidates you are interviewing at the beginning of the interview process so that you are not wasting anyone time. As a Black Man in America, the gears almost always change once the person that hiring for the role finds out that I am Black. I always get past the phone interview because talking over the phone it defaults to tell my race. I've been dealing with this sh!t for 8+ years now and it's getting really old. :)

The interview process changed once they saw me on the video camera! As a black ninja! with all the certs required for the role and over 8+ year of experience, I doubt me not getting the position had anything to do with being able to do the job.

Nice! When you're a black man it's difficult to make white folks feel comfortable. All they see is your Blackness* :/
