I recently applied to a position at Banner Health. Overall, I did not enjoy the application process, so much so that I am writing this message.
At the end of the application, there is a questionnaire. Many of the questions were either unclear or weren't applicable to the job I applyied for. It was not an enjoyable process feeling like I may be screened out simply because:
1) There wasn't a suitable answer to a given quesiton.
2) The question was too ambiguous.
3) I had to guess an answer because the question wasn't applicable to me.
I came out of the application process feeling like I wasted my time answering so many generic questions (there were ~100 questions). If you need to screen out candidates, please don't make me feel like I'm wasting my time in order for you to do so; it doesn't matter what reasons you have for having each of these questions.
In answering the questionnaire, I accidentally marked a question wrongly and was unable to go back to correct it. I would have no problem with a system that doesn't allow for correction if it wasn't such a long questionnaire.
One of the last questions asks me to explain why I am the best person for this job. Please don't ask my why I am the best person for this job; I don't know the other candidates; I don't know the work culture or the specific tasks. If for some reason you still think this is a good idea to ask this question, please don't only give me 100 characters to make my case.
I know working at Banner Health will be a different experience than the application process, but the application process is the first real glimpse of company culture that applicants get. Utilize that time to show off the culture; do not squander that opportunity by making the application feel dehumanized.
