Hi there, Thanks for taking the time to share your experience interviewing with us and we are sorry we couldn't welcome you to the team this time. We appreciate your feedback, it really helps us improve our recruitment process. We understand that our take-home assignment can feel demanding, they are designed to be selective and provide you with real examples of the work our teams deliver every week. For a role like Creative Strategist, we believe it’s important to see how candidates approach creative research, briefs, develop visual ideas, and apply marketing insights. That said, we take your point and agree that it shouldn’t feel like a “part-time job.” That's why — unlike many companies — we do compensate candidates for the time they spend on these assignments, and we make sure this compensation aligns with fair market rates for freelancers doing similar work. We know your time, expertise and creative energy have value. We’re also reviewing how to keep our assessments more focused and streamlined, while still giving candidates the opportunity to demonstrate their skills in a realistic way. Thanks again for your honest feedback. We wish you all the best in your future creative work, and hopefully you might still consider a role with us in the future! Best regards, The Maneuver Marketing Team
