Companies asking their candidates to do a test? Doesn't sound broken to me.
If you want a job with just a 30 minute conversation, you then have to work with people who got the job with just a 30 minute conversation!
- mrcold 12y agoThe test is not the problem. The fact that it's not paid is. Each company wants at least a couple of hours of tests. So at most you could apply to maybe 10 companies a week (2 tests per day). That's a week you could work somewhere else. A week in which you could start building a startup. Or a week of vacation and recharging. Instead, you're doing useless and redundant tests FOR FREE. And the response is usually "Sorry, we chose to go with someone more qualified". Candidates don't like tests because not only they don't get anything out of them, they lose valuable time. But if you paid for that time, I'm sure everybody will be happy to take any tests you want. STOP EXPECTING FREE WORK FROM JOB CANDIDATES.
