I applied online. I interviewed at Toast Inc in Feb 2026
Interview
They use BrightHire AI to record and transcribe interviews. The HR rep sounded like he was just reading questions off from a script and wasn't very engaging. He asked tech questions which seemed odd for an HR interview. I got the impression that someone else would be reviewing the transcription which completely takes out the personality and human element from the interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about yourself. Mostly asked if I had experience with specific skills from the job description.
Thank you for sharing your experience. What you've described here does not match the candidate experience we aim to provide, so we will be sure to share this feedback with the team. We wish you the best with your job search!
The process began with a phone call with a HR recruiter, then a background/technical video call with the hiring manager. Some information of team structure and business units within Toast.
