What do we feel about the hiring process that add homework/projects? I’m seeing it pop up a lot now or being added to the interview process after you’ve started.

In my personal opinion, I think it’s horrible. We’re both interviewing each other - I’m trusting you to be a good company to work for, you should trust me that I know how to do the job (and you should provide me with training to be successful)

Yes, straight up facts. Not impressive, and a red flag to me.

I agree with you 100%... but in that spirit we all know that you can't really trust anyone. I have never, ever received training in my career, nor a competent manager. As Director of Compliance Ops, I still have yet to have a peer to discuss strategy with. I am still hopeful that I interview with someone that I can learn from. No luck yet.

This is a new thing for me also. After 30 years in finance a company asked me to present a business case study to solution one of their pain points. I really felt like the honest way to do this would be to hire me as a contractor for a week or two for a trial project. Doing work for free is not cool! I understand if they want a test run before committing.

I am so anxious right now! Just got a job offer 2 weeks ago and still waiting on the written offer letter. I asked for an update and the recruiter reached out 2 days ago letting me know that they had some final requirements that should be approved that day so they can send the offer letter out. It’s been 2 days. My question is can I message the recruiter for an update? Will that be too annoying?
