> …in one case when the person moved on to the next interview, they couldn’t answer questions about the task. “Not only have they wasted their time, but they wasted my time,” says the recruiter. “It’s really frustrating.” I’m on the prospective employee’s side here. If I had to do a complex task for every application I’d be driven mad. That’s a waste of the applicant’s time. Plus, the employee you should want to hire is the employee that can do tasks in the most creative low effort way. Why should I hire the employee who takes 8 hours to grind through a task when the employee who uses ChatGPT to bust it out in 1 hour gets the same correct output? Company recruiters have had the leg up on applicants for years with ATS systems. I’m glad the applicants have flipped the script and forced the recruiters to actually do work to find good candidates.
