No. Very interested in hearing more though!

I did and I had no idea it was coming...first and only time over a dozen interviews. basically had to look at staff plans and determine how you'd reorganize people if a bunch of full time roles came in urgently for a new high end client, how you'd consolidate roles, who you would put where based on seniority or skillset versus project requirements. I thought it was a waste of my time, but the interviewer had shot himself in the foot a few times before we even got to the test. Did an Excel test once too, but that was really to gauge my interest in learning how it works than my actual know-how.

I’ve never heard of this either! My only concern would be, that the role sounds like it’s probably more focused on data than people if they’re testing you during a interview. If that doesn’t bother you because you lean heavier on the operational side, then you have nothing to worry about.

Definitely interested to hear how this goes for you. Keep us posted!
