Applied for a senior-level role and was contacted by a member of the company’s talent team via LinkedIn (who initially neglected to identify which company she worked for). I completed a short screening call with the recruiter and was then asked to complete a writing test. It took two days to complete the test and I wasn’t paid for my time. After submitting my response to the test I was rejected for the role, so I asked for feedback. The company declined to provide feedback, saying it had a policy not to give feedback on writing tests. If a company has a policy not to give feedback to candidates who’ve invested time completing tests, it should at least communicate this upfront.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Typical screening questions, really – where I’d worked before, the kind of work I’d done, that sort of thing.
Straightforward with some basic questions. They mainly analyze the writing test that is mandatory to complete. The test itself was pretty broad but they do not give you a deadline which is nice. However, the feedback for the test is vague.
