Not really... more like how the candidate performs under pressure and having to work with others. It's super effective. Hahaha. I'm going to bring some junior and senior folks into the room.

This is a great idea. I wish more shops did this for creatives instead of have them do sample work during the interviewing process.

Ugh spec work. I never let my consulting clients assign unpaid cases in their hiring processes if they want me involved. Had a few personal bad experiences as a candidate, and many friends, especially designers, have WTF stories about these.

Overcooked is such a fun game

PwC 🐠, I interviewed with the firm about 6 months ago for a Senior Associate position on the forensics team. I wasn’t extended an offer because the position was given to an internal transfer, at least what I was told. I tried reaching out to the recruiter I worked with last time but the email bounced back and wouldn’t be delivered. I was hoping to see / reapply if the group still was looking for seniors.

In your opinion, would it be best to reapply as a cold application?
