I agree that most companies don’t do work sample hiring well. But most companies don’t do any technical filters well. They’ll waste your time with dumb whiteboarding, or leet code or god forbid personality tests. To me it’s a strong signal if a company has a work sample test because it shows they have at least one part of their process that has a chance to be a good filter. It’s an even stronger signal if they’ve replaced the majority of their pipeline with it. I won’t say I won’t accept a job that didn’t do a work sample component but it would definitely jade my thinking against the firm. And I’ve certainly told companies I wouldn’t continue with their hiring process after hearing what it entails.
