Why can't these recruiters spend maybe just 30 seconds reviewing resumes first before sending the OA email? Instead of wasting applicants' hours preparing and grinding through their OA tasks, only to reject us within a day of submission? Is this some kind of compliance test? If you want to filter people out, can't you just do it the easy way? I'm tempted to create an open-source list of trash companies that don't respect applicants' time. Likewise, I don't care how prestigious you are - you're a TRASH company to me if you show no respect for applicants' time. --- Update I might not have explained myself clearly and caused some confusion based on the comments I received. Think about two different recruiting workflows: 1. AI screening -> manual screening -> applicant completes the OA -> interview process... 2. Applicant completes the OA -> AI screening -> manual screening -> interview process... The second approach doesn't make any sense, unless the screening algorithm gives the OA result high weight/priority (even so you can still apply AI screening without OA before the OA). It's a huge waste of applicants' time as they could have been rejected in the first place instead of wasting huge amount of time and energy grinding down the OA tasks. However, AFAIK, it feels like a bunch of companies have implemented their workflow as #2. Why on earth is this? Feel free to correct me if my speculation is wrong.
