You only apply for one job a year? Twice a year?

There are very many good candidates a company will miss out on by asking for a full unpaid day from the candidates.

It's not that it's a 9-hour investment. It's that for someone looking for a new job, it's 9 hours * N jobs they're applying to. That adds up quick.
