Their initial hiring process is ridiculous and totally irrelevant to the actual role you’re applying to. I had to share my screen, camera, and microphone to sit through an initial asynchronous assessment for a Product / UX Designer role. The task was to answer a series of questions to a logic deduction riddle. It has absolutely nothing to do with the job description or the capabilities of a product designer and is a poor hiring practice, with the only purpose being to cull the number of applicants / CV’s the talent manager will have to strain their eyes reading, I would only prefer an ATS rejection. I can’t think of a better way to pass on UX / Design talent, than by rejecting somebody for what is ultimately a creative/empathy based role over a timed mathematics riddle. It’s pure laziness/cost cutting from the hiring team and is a major red flag. I closed the tab and continued on my job search. Something I have also noticed that is incredibly frustrating is how they spam LinkedIn with every brand they own, rather than advertising roles under the “bending spoons’ name. They will list multiple roles for every brand they own that all lead back to the bending spoons website, taking up an unnecessary number of the LinkedIn search results.
