I recently encountered a hiring process that used a Turing style test to evaluate candidates. I answered the questions correctly, yet the feedback suggested I did not meet the overall requirements for the role. It made me wonder how much weight these assessments carry compared to experience or context. If the answers are right, what else determines whether a candidate is truly a fit?
