Posting this because I just saw a job ad that says the job requires a pre-recorded interview that includes a coding test on this platform. I'm curious if people have been subjected to this, and if people have skipped applying based on the request to do this.

Essentially, this is an automated applicant screening tool.

Presumably, individuals who jump through these dehumanizing hoops will be seriously ‘motivated’ and ‘qualified’.

From a talent attraction perspective, it’s a major turn-off.

Imagine if a potential client or investor signaled interest in the company.

Do you think a live human would jump on Zoom with them PDQ?
