I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Handshake in Apr 2026
Interview
Recruiter Screening
Behavioral Interview
Case Interview
Recruiter screening and behavioral were very standard. Tell me about your time in a project, tell me about a time when something went wrong, etc. Just read anything about behavioral interviews and you’ll do well. The case was excel. Way easier than I thought it would be.

Application
I interviewed at Handshake (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
3 Rounds:
Recruiter Screen
Coding Screen - Pass/ Fail
Loop of multiple panelists
All questions directed towards handling data annotation projects and fitting in their culture. Questions arent necessarily tough, but expect follow up questions around navigating timelines and resource constrains
Brief interview process. Included a behavioral interview and then a data case, live with an interviewer. Data case was not very difficult, but was tougher since you have to explain your thought process live.
