Candidatei-me online. Fiz uma entrevista na empresa CXT Software.
Entrevista
Multiple online tests around IQ, project management, and technical expertise. Followed by Manager and VP interviews. The tests were difficult, but the interviews were easy. It seemed to me that they trusted the test results.

Entrevista
CXT Software runs a structured, transparent recruitment process that allows candidates to demonstrate their skills in real-world contexts while ensuring fairness and consistency across roles.
1. Basic Fit Assessment
The first step is a structured questionnaire tailored to the role.
It covers core qualifications, years of experience, and alignment with the job requirements.
This ensures every candidate is measured against the same baseline criteria.
2. Aptitude Assessment
Selected candidates complete an online aptitude assessment.
This stage evaluates problem-solving, logical reasoning, and role-relevant cognitive skills.
The goal is to measure potential as well as experience.
3. Real Work Scenario
Candidates are invited to complete a practical challenge designed to reflect actual work at CXT.
For example, marketing candidates may design a strategic plan, while technical candidates may work through a product or process case.
This stage tests how candidates think, prioritize, and apply their skills in context.
4. Structured Interviews
Finalists take part in structured interviews with hiring managers and team members.
Questions are aligned with the job spec, ensuring a fair and consistent evaluation across all candidates.
The focus is on both technical capability and cultural alignment with CXT.
The process is clear, fair, and transparent, giving candidates multiple ways to showcase their strengths beyond just a résumé, while helping CXT identify people who can succeed in real-world conditions.

The process spanned nearly two months and began with a series of assessments: an IQ test, a marketing aptitude quiz (which leaned more academic than applied), and a personality profile. This was followed by a “Real Work Challenge” that asked candidates to develop a detailed go-to-market strategy for a new vertical, despite limited visibility into the company’s existing structure or internal context. While framed as a light exercise, producing something meaningful took several hours and bled into personal time.
After submitting the plan, I was scheduled for two interviews. The first, with the CEO, was a positive conversation centered on cultural alignment. The second was far less constructive. The interviewer seemed distracted and disengaged, offering zero questions and minimal interaction. After investing significant time into the process, this lack of engagement was disheartening. I left the conversation unsure whether I’d even accept the role if offered.
A rejection email arrived a few weeks later, well beyond the communicated timeline. While I wasn’t surprised or disappointed by the outcome, I’d advise future applicants to proceed with eyes open. There are elements of this process that may feel more extractive than evaluative.
