the problem is, what is the alternative? I have never been on the employer side of a hiring process before, only the job-seeking side, but from what I’ve read, it’s not a very good system for either side, yet I can’t easily think of a better alternative.
Those are all good points, except of course that “live problem-solving sessions” and “trial work periods” were definitely already a thing at my current job, yet the employer needed the résumé to decide whether to invite/consider me for that in the first place.
