I applied online and was sent an email directing me to take an online exam. I've seen this before and knew it was a waste of my time so I didn't bother. 10 days later someone calls me to encourage me to take the exam. He sounded annoyed that I hadn't taken it. He said there were many applicants and wanted to know if he should keep the application open. If there were many applicants they wouldn't be calling me. I explained that I am not interested. He pressed on as to why. I explained that this was not a process I saw value in. He was nice but annoyed at my reply. We need to get back to basics. Email a resume - not through a form. Call the applicant for a brief call and meet them if necessary - once, for no longer than an hour. I think video interviews are just as good as in person and it shows a greater respect for people's time. Projects, presentations and tests are ridiculous and do nothing to increase the odds of hiring the right person.
