Time waste alert!
I had a recruiter for ZipRecruiter contact me. He spent almost 45 minutes selling the company and its values and then went on tell me how he was different than your "typical recruiter", how he was concerned about the "candidate experience" and after all it was his reputation.
Based on this recruiter's up-selling, I agreed to take their Hackerrank test, which was a timed test with the usual cliche algorithm problems.
At any rate, I completed the test and then was completely "ghosted" by this individual. I never heard a word back nothing. Even after sending a few follow up emails. Unprofessional, disrespectful and hypocritical.
- theglitchmob 9y agoI straight up refuse to take part in HackerRank interviews anymore and think any self-respecting candidate for a given company should do the same. A company using this as an interviewing method is a sign that their hiring process is broken, and if they can't truly evaluate who they hire there's sure to be any number of other red flags you'll find.
