I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Mirakl (Paris) in Feb 2025
Interview
- an HR call for background discussion + ML and Python basic questions Q&A, which is ridiculous cause the HR is no more than a keyword-matcher in this Q&A
- another half-an-hour interview with a data scientist who has the same years of experience as me. The person has a list of questions and ask one by one without any follow-up questions. Another ridiculous keyword matcher.
- And your STAR framework for experience questions is also ridiculous. Such a corporate-heavy recruiting process to hire tech people, lol
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts about our interview process.
At Mirakl, we strive to make our recruitment process as fair and efficient as possible. Our technical questions during the HR call are crafted together with our Data Science team to ensure a meaningful and objective assessment from the very beginning. The conversation with a Data Scientist is also a valuable opportunity to connect with the team and make sure there’s a good mutual fit before moving forward.
We use the STAR framework because it truly reflects our values and how we collaborate at Mirakl. We believe it’s important for both candidates and companies to assess whether there is a good match between their expectations and corporate values.
We wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

I first got a call from the HR for a simple screening call to begin with. It all went smooth, she asked about some generic questions in Python, statistics and Machine Learning
