How about "Dont send us a resume! We aren't a traditional company. Make a crazy video showing us your personality and why you'd be the best person for the job.

There’s a Black Mirror episode somewhere in here akin to the Hunger Games.

  I mean, peddling the bike to keep your vim session going might be good for many of us. Well, at least me.

It doesn't end at hiring. At one place I worked, the CEO got new hires in a room and "spontaneously" asked them to tell an embarrassing story about themselves one by one, to break the ice. People were very uncomfortable but did it. Nobody was having fun, it was pretty cringe. Then it was the CEO's turn (she went last), and she told the most flattering "embarrassing" you could imagine, which was basically just a huge flex about her life and opportunities. Some company leaders just like to humiliate the people who work for them because they can.

  I’ve been in such a situation but I don’t do group stupid so got up and left.

    Same here. CIO and my boss look up and I'm gone. My boss blows up my phone begging me to come back. Ruined my career there. My colleagues literally gushed over me and said they wished they had the courage to leave also. It was traumatizing for most involved.

      you tanked your career because you couldn't do a simple, if silly and lame, group ice breaker thing? like, just make some shit up. this shouldn't even be a thing. "I never learned how to ride a bike" or "I peed my pants while skydiving" or something. fake a couple of laughs, and then think about how much beer you're going to have after work.
