Maybe if they spent less time on requiring life essays from applicants and more on product they could afford to pay more.

- Closi 5y agoWell OPs point is that these essays save you time because you filter out applicants that aren’t serious. Anyone who has interviewed recently will know the amount of time wasted by organising interviews people don’t even turn up for, or show up and are completely winging it. This is designed to weed these people out, because it’s a way of demonstrating that the person applying actually wants the job and haven’t just sent their CV out to everyone who is hiring.
- freedomben 5y agoI don't disagree, but it's a band pass filter, rather than a low end filter. You are also weeding out the good engineers who recognize that you're asking them for a huge investment without any showing of good faith. I would honestly be shocked if the interviewers even read half of the answers they're asking.
