- MandieD 5y agoIf a candidate can’t give a good-quality written answer to a job-related question when given several hours or days, would you really want to rely on them to provide usable bug/feature descriptions or documentation later, when they have other time pressures?
- deregulateMed 5y agoMaybe the candidate realizes they are in high demand and don't need to waste time. I wont interview/apply at some notorious companies because I know I can get an equal offer without jumping through hoops. So you lose out on the highest demand candidates and get the most desperate candidates.

- deregulateMed 5y agoThis assumes no interview stage.
- 3maj 5y agoAgreed, if a hiring page asks me to upload my resume and then asks me to manually enter all the info along with answering extra questions I will close the application. It's not worth my time, especially if they can't be bothered to pull the info from my resume and auto populate the resume section.
