> Cheaper than a bad hire, stops you missing out on good hires who think "fuck that". Does it? If I have a developer job then I'm paid well and don't really care about the money which I have enough of, I care about the time which I have very little of. If you're in the top 0.01% of companies to work for (and the applicant knows that) then it's probably a worthwhile time investment, but for the other 99.99% it's a waste.

If you are interviewing with a company, asking you to spend time in exchange for money is reasonable. If you feel you are above that exchange, personally, that is an effective filter for a potential problem employee.

  > If you are interviewing with a company, asking you to spend time in exchange for money is reasonable. These tests are typically a pre-interview step and they don't really work well for much apart from that. So at this point I'm not interviewing with the company and all I know is that they have an interesting job ad. Considering how far from reality job ads can be I'm not going to waste hours based on one.
