Wow, I would pass on this job so fast.
Not because it's hard to fire up
curlor something, but because any company that thinks this is a better solution than a human reviewing a resume needs to be smacked. Because you know what the very next step is? They're going to ask for a resume, and then make you sit through that bullshit where you type your resume into a hundred different boxes into their candidate management system / workday / talento / etc., and promise to "get back to you soon."You know how you can check if a candidate can interact with an API? Send them a coding test. Ask questions. Do some whiteboarding with them. This sort of shit is just some HR ~~lackey~~ ninja thinking they're clever and edgy.
I mean an API call isn't hard, it cuts down in the amount of resumes probably meaning your resume will be more likely to be looked at. And it let's then know you know the very basics, I've seen some shit on recruiting hell forums and I'm ok with this one. You don't even have to retype anything since the resume field is just a link.
The cringy stuff is "rockstar developer" and ninja, etc. Those are always red flags to me
That's a lot of assumptions. What I see here is "Do fizzbuzz before we look at your resumee, will you".
