Applied via LinkedIn -- Received an invite for the logical test, 15 minutes 18 questions Identify patterns -- Need to be finished in 7 days or else cannot take it in the next 365 days Got a reminder email to finish the test on the 4th day of receiving it. 1. Gave the test--> Could not guess the pattern convincingly for 2/18 questions. Received an email in 48 hours that they would like to proceed further with the first round of interview with the hiring manager. 2. A screening interview with the hiring manager. (30 mins) The interview went well and he told me about the next steps of the interview process and how they would invite me for the Block 1 interviews and then Block 2. Waited for the call to proceed further -- 3. Received another email to take the logical pattern test again --- but this time in a supervised setting. (Well 365 days went by in a week - and you are actually eligible to take the test again) With Covid-19 -- in the lockdown and staying alone, I wondered if they suspected cheating and wanted me to take the test again. I was told it was a standard procedure which apparently the hiring manager was not aware of. The exam needs to be taken during the working hours of the supervisor, and that means during your working hours too. ( if you are in the same timezone ) If you want to do it over the weekend, well guess what you cannot. Gave the test a second time only to realize that I did not clear it this time. Asked for the score received it, only to realize I missed the mark marginally. You cannot get more than 3 of those questions wrong. Rejected from the interview process. 730 on the GMAT and rejected on this test -- which I am not sure measures what exactly? Such a great company, with such a great product to save time and hassle for customers. But still, needs to engage a supervisor for 15 minutes to monitor you? Is that the best use of their time? (Maybe to save time down the line when the candidate gets a call for block 1 interviews? don't know) Piece of advice for Klarna's recruitment team: Want to disrupt the dot test-taking process -- automate your software to detect any cheating. Build a plugin for the browser, video etc. [AI, and Image processing] Result: Save 30 minutes of your supervisor's precious time. Automate the results -- it's just 18 questions --- if the candidate finishes the test compute how many they got wrong and give them the results right away - why the delay? One-click checkout and a 5-day delay to process a fraction?
