The ghosting is what’s not OK. Ghosting a candidate after receiving unpaid take-home interview work from them is doubly bad, that makes them grifters in my book. Tell us who it was so we can avoid them. There’s nothing inherently wrong with unpaid take-home interview work. Don’t do it if you don’t want to do it, but don’t declare that it’s “not OK” in a general sense, as if it’s somehow immoral. If both sides are clear on the arrangement, and it ends with either acceptance or rejection with feedback, there is nothing wrong with it. It’s my favourite format as an interviewee.
