I can't stand how this tech test stuff developed. What other industries do this? I applied for a job recently and their first response was a blanket reply with a codility test. Which I ignore and moved on to other opportunities. They contacted after a week asking about it and I had to inform them I would look at other opportunities without a test barrier. Best jobs and places I worked came because of informal conversations during the interview.

This was my case as well. Several years ago I was returning to my home country and while looking for a job I applied to Gameloft, IBM , and other companies, including a small startup. Excepting the one startup, every ody sent me a canned response with a code challenge. The startup replied to me with a human asking me to talk. That's the place where I ended up going , and was the best decision for my career (gameloft closed doors some years later)
