RESULTS
Highlights: Good collaboration skills, Experience with AI
Keypoints: Has only used TypeScript in personal projects, Demonstrated effective collaboration and initiative, Comfortable with English
Overall Score: 68%
English Level: B2
Looks pretty good! Agreed that a senior js dev should have some real experience with TypeScript.
But wait, what does B2 mean?
Can interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes regular interaction with native speakers quite possible without strain for either party.
Hm. I am a native English speaker, and there are two levels above B2. This is a pretty big miss.
But overall, the process was so quick and painless that I'd certainly do it again, just for the chance to practice giving my canned responses to standard behavioral-type questions.
We just made update to drop CEFR standards and just show language proficiency.
Once you create a job description you can test how AI will do the interview and adjust JD again if necessary.
