It's only fair that a company asking you to do this should pay you because they should only be doing it once they are far down the funnel and perhaps deciding whether you are go/no-go in which case, paying somebody a few hundred dollars is neither here or there.
If you are doing it because you don't believe someone's ability, you should either pay them or be honest and say you don't believe their experience, in which case it is up to you whether you want to do it for free or not.
I find the ghosting unforgiveable though, I can't understand somebody being in contact and you simply not replying even if to say "sorry, we aren't taking you". Are people so insecure, they don't know how to reply without sounding aggressive/opening themselves up to lawsuits or something?
- have_faith 4y ago> It's only fair that a company asking you to do this should pay you I don't think it's a question of fairness at all. It's certainly inconvenient and the longer the test the more likely I am to dismiss it off hand but a couple hours is ok, more than that needs good justification. If a company is offering me a salary thats 90th percentile or above then I don't see the problem with having to jump through some (reasonable) hoops. The ghosting part is unquestionably rude though and any such company should be named and shamed so that people can avoid them if they want.
