It's something that a lot of people get. I got a hiring assessment, passed, and was never interviewed. Still, it's better than a straight up rejection!

Sadly they do send them to not everyone but a lot of people. It really isn't anything special persay so I wouldn't get too excited. They are just doing a screening to see if they want to bring you in to actually start the hiring process. Best of luck to you though OP.

Yes it’s a pre screen before you even speak to a recruiter. It is sent to everyone (know this cause I left before this was implemented at Google).

It’s not guaranteed that you’ll get to the recruiter round. It’s there so that it limits the people who will apply to roles. If you don’t pass this, there is a 6 month blackout period meaning you can’t apply to any roles for 6 months.

It is not a logic test but an arbitrary questionnaire with questions like:

I am able to work well with people
I am introverted
I often need structure to do my work well
Changing deadlines do not intimidate me

Answer choices range from: Strongly agree to strongly disagree

And it’ll score you after but won’t show your score, just if you passed or not.

It is probably a pre-screen assessment to qualify you for an actual HR screening. Many large companies do this to save time, consider yourself lucky.

I have a friend who was let go a few months into his first job after college (reason: the manager felt like he wasn't grasping the training content to the level that was expected). He's worried about if he should put the experience on his resume anyway, if he does will recruiters ask why he had such a short time at this place, and what will recruiters think if he explains he was let go. What are some things recruiters expect from candidates in this situation to continue considering them?

Hello everyone,

I wanted to know how long does Course5i take to release an offer, I cleared all rounds last friday and was going to get an offer from HR early this week (by Monday evening or Tuesday) but didn’t get any offer till now.

I loved the role and I am still excited to join the organisation so mailed a follow up to the HR yesterday but did not get any response till now. I do not want to follow up for the next 1-2 days since I feel it would be too pushy from my end.

I am now actively looking but how do I explain to other employers why I am actively looking and what do I put on my resume? I have never had to deal with this before.

Reorgs are just a part of the corporate world. If you haven’t been a part of one in your career yet, then you most likely haven’t been in the corporate workforce for very long. If you have been a part of a reorg, however, how do you personally approach it? There are many factors at play, but in general do you try to establish relationships with the individuals you know will be key contributors and/or decision makers going forward? Or do you lay low and let what ever happens be/hope for the best?
