If they had just blanket-declined me then I don't think I would have cared all that much, it's far from the first (or thousandth) job I've been declined for; what annoyed me is that they made me go through a stupid video seminar thing before they had even read my resume.
They're going to waste two hours of my time and not even give me the courtesy of reading my resume? Pretty douchey, IMO.
My policy is: no tests, no seminars, no long interviews. Max 2hs before there is a clear sign of real interest.
I’ve seen enough people doing 2hs tests+ 3 2hs interviews + 2hs disertation showing what you can… at the end seems the probability of being hired is inversely proportional to the effort required.
Oh, I hear you. In some cases, they may be required to document how many candidates went through the entire process, to "prove" that it was genuinely competitive.
