A candidate described an interview in which the hiring manager spent the entire session trying to disprove every qualification on his resume. Each time he answered a technical question, she pivoted to a new challenge: first his software experience, then his leadership credentials, then his hands-on involvement, then his team-building record. No answer was sufficient. Reddit users labelled it a "fake moving target interview" and speculated the company already had an internal pick and was only going through the motions to satisfy HR policy.
