Has anybody been recruited "automatically"? (programming.dev)

There's this new thing (to me) going around called "automated recruitment". From contacting candidates, to assessment, to (sometimes even) job offer, the person just goes through a pipeline. There are a few products that provide this experience and others that only do a part (contact, assessment, contract + onboarding, whatever else).

I ended up in one of these pipelines and was assessed by TestGorilla, which was a very unpleasant experience. So I'm curious if someone got through something similar and what their experience during and afterwards (working in a place like that) was like.

I skipped the test portion with the last interview I did because I told them I didn't wanna do it. But I suspect we may be at different points in our careers with different trajectories.
