This can definitely go to far, especially if the company’s process itself involves too many steps. I don’t think that’s the case with us, which has been an advantage when competing against companies that take weeks to decide. For an engineer, assuming they’re available for interviews, we can make an offer in just a few days after they apply. Sorry for not clarifying about verification versus speculation. I talked to the candidate on the phone at the end of the process. The candidate felt like we had moved too quickly and had remaining questions. The last interview would have answered those questions, but no doubt, that’s partially speculative.

I got hacked off with a company recently. They send an email to the local Python meetup group with what they were looking for. I replied, highlighting experience in 13 of their 15 criteria. "Great now, we would really like to see an example of your code". "Well all my stuff at work is in house, and contains some sensitive information. I have started a small side project recently, but you will have to understand that it is not finished. Have you got a bitbucket account?" "Great, now we would like you do dedicate a bit of time to set up a simple flask API...." "I have sent you an example for real work I have done, I don't think it is really necessary for me to set up a project using two technologies I am not familar with..." The guy kept of framing it as if I was causing a problem. I said I would do it for the local freelance rate, but that seemed to go unnoticed as I was asked for a solution to my reluctance to do the test.
