Hiring process does not consider those who already work full-time, and is essentially asking candidates to provide unpaid consulting hours to generate ideas for the company. I joined several interview calls with their recruiting and sales development program team, which seemed relatively normal. After that, I was given an approximately 30-hour candidate exercise. The ask was to spend a week in their sandbox environment and then present a solution for implementation of the software with a new client. I opted out of the process at this point. If a company asks for such an extensive case study preparation, they should be prepared to compensate you for your time or be open to a reduced scope. Anything less is disrespectful to candidates who value their professional knowledge and time.

Das Gespräch war ein typisches erstes Screening mit einem Recruiter. Es ging hauptsächlich um meinen Lebenslauf, meine Motivation für die Stelle und einige Fragen zu meinen bisherigen Erfahrungen. Das Gespräch war freundlich und professionell, dauerte etwa 20–30 Minuten und fand per Videoanruf statt.
