I had a screening call with a recruiter and then an onsite interview with the hiring manager. The interview was one of the strangest I have ever encountered. The hiring manager barely said hello to me and then left me for an hour to complete an "assessment" that he had created himself in a google doc. The assessment consisted of filling in the blanks on a positioning statement, as well as several riddles and other tasks meant to "measure a candidates intelligence". During the course of the hour following the competition of this "assessment" the hiring manger argued with me about my answers and the way I had approached the problems. Personally, I don't feel that this is 1. an effective way to recruit someone, and 2. is an effective way to manage. Immediately following the interview I called the recruiter and told her I would like to withdraw my candidacy as I did not feel that there was a fit between myself and that workplace.
