Yes, they are used to discriminate against people who can’t do the job.

Brutal. 😂

Yes. Can't and won't let just anyone in. If you mean ethnically, that goes on too. Everyone has preconceived notions of others. If you don't break the negative ones in the interview, you don't have a chance.

Interviews no, evaluating “fit” or something socially squishy, absolutely.

Interviews are the main method used to determine a candidates qualifications, experience and overall knowledge. They are not discriminatory regarding an applicants qualifications. They can weed out the unqualified applicants.

funny

Didn’t the recruiter already determine candidate’s “qualifications, experience and overall knowledge” before scheduling the interview? So yes, interview are a form of discrimination? 😂

I’m interviewing for a start up and the role sounds interesting. Usually for the “test” part of the interview I’ve had to analyze data. This company wants me to develop a growth strategy that outlines key initiatives for growth, different opportunities, experiments I’d run, KPIs, and working cross-functionally.

Is this a lot for an interview?

I’m a little afraid of doing all this work to then just have them take my ideas and not hire me.
