Why do companies that clearly desperately need people think that assigning a take home case study that takes 10 hours will help their cause.... I will drop out in a heartbeat lol

Pretty good way to figure out who is serious about the job. But obviously can turn away well qualified people. Useful if you don’t have a shortage of good enough candidates.

I came across like 5 of these when I was recruiting and turned my nose at most of them. Some of them were along the lines of statistical analysis and made me see very clearly that it’s not the right job for me.

Now I just did one that I actually really enjoyed - I got the job and accepted it.

Makes me think if it’s designed well then it’s actually a good tool to find the people who are a fit for the role and will (hopefully) love the job.

Yup. In this market, there is no shortage of people who actually are desperate

I mean consulting is still up or out. With the unemployment rate as high as it is, my hypothesis is that even the highest performing people will find it harder to find exit opportunities given the increase in sheer volume of people applying vs. the number of openings.

I think if you don’t want the opportunity then of course bow out, but again that doesn’t mean a crazy number of people including those sick of consulting or those counseled out won’t go for it.

Feel the exact same way, but there tons of folks who will accept this and so the process continues.

Just insane lol. Like y’all harassed ME on LinkedIn. Please show some respect for my time. Happy to do a live case interview or cognitive assessment or something similar but I’m not doing a literal mini consulting project for you for free

Because there are plenty of people who will do the case, so these companies can.

Hey All,

Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.
