Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We appreciate the input our candidates send to us so we can adjust our recruitment procedures. The test you mention is a step in our interview process where candidates are given a copywriting and editing assignment that typically takes an hour to complete. Candidates who score high enough on the test and match other requirements move on to the first round of interviews with the hiring managers. This is industry standard, especially for a role where technical skill is a requirement. We strive to be clear about this process so our candidates have the right expectations and can make the right personal decision about taking on this work. We explain this assessment and it's place in our process both in email and on the phone. We apologize if there was a breakdown in communication in your case. We have looped in our recruitment team leadership about your issue so we can consider where we might want to improve our communications about this test. We wish you the best.
