I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Iress (Melbourne) in Feb 2026
Interview
I applied for Engineer through a reference. After 1 week received email from HR that Hiring Manager is interested in interviewing me.
Interview was set up the next week with Hiring manager and 2 senior Engineers from the team. Interview was mix of behavioural, past experience and technical questions. Nothing that I can flag as too difficult. They were more interested in knowing who you are and how you work. Then they asked if I use AI for coding and which AI tools I have used so far. I mentioned few like Claude and cursor. They wanted to know more about this although in JD it was never mentioned that they are looking for someone with experience in AI. Then after a week I saw the same role being reposted in LinkedIn with added requirement for AI tools (but it was added as desirable). I chased up with the HR couple of times but got no response it's been over 4 weeks now. Instead of ghosting candidate try to give some feedback or even at least give the outcome of their application.
