Who would interview with a company again after this nonsense though? I would hope candidates view of said "cool off" period is that it is a permanent one. The arrogance of these recruiters is astonishing.
What gets me is that every recruiter who reaches out (hundreds by now I estimate) wants me to complete their timed coding test to qualify to interview again.
I found Google’s interview process comparatively much more respectful (although more demanding), and have been happy working there instead.
I’m sure it’s helpful to weed out applicants who actually cannot code, but what’s the point in doing it twice?
Thank you!
