I applied for a part-time content writer position and was immediately required to complete extensive pre-employment assessment testing. The tests required a significant time commitment, but I completed them fully to the best of my ability. A few business days later, I received an automated rejection notification. I was not considered for an interview and received no feedback regarding my test performance, the application status, or the aptitude standards required. In my experience, the process felt very transactional and discouraging for applicants who invest time into the assessments. I wish the company provided constructive feedback or a breakdown of test results before deciding not to pursue a candidate, rather than relying on automated rejections."
