Funny, I think that's great. It's considerate of an applicants time by saving them the hassle about price conversation up front. That's for your benefit, not theirs (they lose the "grip" they might otherwise have at price negotiation time due to your sunk cost, which is totally to their benefit). Some applicants know to ask about wage this early, but many don't, so it's equalizing to let anyone opt out pre-pipeline, not just the confident men who've done a billion interviews and know to ask asap. As for video, that feels like a company trying to supplement a prior process that used to lean a lot on in-person networking and associated soft skills assessment, which is lost in online apply processes. Not everyone feels at ease in networking settings, and so many ppl don't show up to those "meet first" spaces. This is giving the introverts and non-urban ppl a way to enter their pipeline while still requiring those applicants to put some of their personality on the table early on in the filter. I dunno, I don't get the criticisms in this sub-thread, but I assume commenters have a neurotype that this specifically rubs the wrong way?
