Well (NC) interview questions

TL/DR This job posting was almost certainly a scam. I applied for the Director Health Equity role with highly aligned credentials and had a positive and pleasant conversation with Max during which he described a role for which I was extremely qualified. He told me the next step in the process was to complete a "skills assessment", which would be reviewed by the Medical Director. The assessment consistent of 3 multi part questions requesting answers from and was similar to a graduate course level take home exam. I was very impressed with how pertinent the questions were to the job described, but a little concerned that they seemed like they were fishing for ideas that were not hypothetical and amounted to free work for Well. Nevertheless, I spent many hours crafting responses that I was very confident were outstanding. What I wrote amounted to a little over 7 pages of content. I submitted and heard nothing back. About two weeks later, I received an automated rejection email later stating "we have decided to move forward with other candidates whose qualifications are a slightly closer match for the specific needs of this role at this time." The next day, I saw the role had been reposted on LinkedIn as is continuing to accept applications. I found the process suspicious and now after reading some of the other reviews on Glassdoor, I believe the job post is simply a scam to mine intellectual property from qualified candidates.

Max, the recruiter, was a no show. (Based on other reviews, this guy seems to be the weak link in the hiring chain.) When I complained he called up, claimed to have had some urgent conflict (with a late lunch, I suspect) and tried to make me the bad guy for not being "flexible." This is just the sort of thing that happens at fast paced companies, don't you know. I allowed him to reschedule. The second conversation started with questions usually asked of one's friends at the local bar and went downhill from there.
