How to play Robot job interview

You run the hiring desk at the world's only recruitment agency for robots seeking human jobs. Ten applicants walk in per run: a barista bot with perfect milk temperature, a lifeguard that rusts, a mail carrier with a gossip newsletter. Read each interview answer and make the call: hire when the quirk helps the job, reject when bot and job fundamentally disagree, retrain when real talent has one broken setting, and send to HR when the answer is technically a confession. Tap your decision or press 1 to 4 on desktop. Best score saved.

Tips

Hire when the weird trait is actually useful for that exact job
Retrain when the skill is real but one setting is clearly broken
Reject when the mismatch is fundamental, like a flammable firefighter
Reading diaries, tracking coworkers or contacting mothers is always HR

About Robot job interview

Job interviews are already absurd, so we gave them to robots. Every applicant in Robot job interview means extremely well and answers with total honesty, which is exactly the problem. The game lives in the judgement calls: is a laser hairdresser a reject or a retrain? Is announcing lobby visitors' credit scores an HR case or just enthusiasm? (It is an HR case.) The four-button verdict system turns every answer into a tiny ethics puzzle with a punchline. Ten interviews per run, a saved best score, and a rank that ranges from hires-on-vibes to head of robot resources.
