im involved in some hiring process, not a HR but more from domain side in one of the MBB

can tell u a few things

1. this is a screening process to remove uninterested candidates
2. some questions are 'traps'
3. they wont read all the responses, probably only a few that is relevant
4. dont give out negative vibes, turn them to positive learnings instead
5. if u want to stand out, complete the response as professional as possible then also put in your thoughts on these questions and their relevance to the job vacancy in a separate email, i can guarantee u no one does that

Sounds like some cheapskate small company. The larger firms and companies wouldn’t bother with all this crap.

Would you even want to join such a company even if you got the job?

Old enough. I know this phenomena is not new and just want to call out bullshit practices like this. Create an account, fill in all your work history which already been on the CV, fill in more useless info and in the end to either get ghosted or lowball. And company complaint NOBODY wants to work anymore.

We should not let them get away with bullshit practices like what this company show. It's not even the internet big Four or some prestige company like Apple, Amazon, or any famous tech company. It's a bloody local company. They just need someone desperate enough to fill all this and lowball the candidate wages to death. Imagine asking stupid question like where is your supervisor now and will you willing to arrange a call with the supervisor etc, just like what parisiansky said, they want to hire me or my supervisor?

What happened to a simple submit your cv, get a phone call, get interviewed and voila you get the job. Man I missed the good old time. Everyone should have a decent shot and a fair chance to get an interview and not be tortured by whatever this is. If its management level or super high pay then I still can understand. It's just a normal job with normal pay.

God i agree with you and hope the economy fucking crash or any reset coming to end of this bullshit. Fuck all of these greedy assholes and fuck capitalism.

Fuck hell no. Touching to the TMI waters. Avoid at all cost. Probably they've hired the CEOs son or daughter for this position dy. These days takdak cablez, takdak jobz.

I'd rather do some hard fucking labour than to do this shit

i experienced something similar (i.e.: fill in pages of questions and then get it notarized by the notary) when i am getting into a local bank. Lesson learnt, when the hiring process is so bureaucratic, the company culture will not be good (and could be toxic).

Which is why i only go for MNC now.

I've sent over my resume. Already answered why the company attracts me etc. And they sent me back this bullshit process to fill in. Like what the actual fuck? asking you what do you do in your free time? What do I obsessed with? Oh and you will need do a test, just an hour so we can steal your ideas. It's not even a technical position. Are they high or something? I have never seen someone asked what's their previous boss shortcoming. I dont even have words anymore.

This type of company be very careful with your application.

Asking candidates about their personal life is intrusion of people's privacy.

Most often this type of companies will find personal faults to fire you once you're no longer needed.

Also what you said is true, they are trying to steal people's ideas and thoughts with these type of tests. They are not serious in hiring and only want to test the market.

Imagine if they can be so intrusive, they can also sell your information to others to make a buck out of it.

If you're confident of your skills and abilities, just ignore or leave them out blanks. You might not get the job but at least you did society a favor of not selling out.

In some cases from my experiences, some very firm and capable candidates with self integrity during interview sessions, if they were made to wait beyond what was agreed upon for the session or asked silly questions during the interviews, they'd just walk right out without a single word.

There is no future career path with these sort of companies which takes advantages of people's desperation.

I mean thats true. But if it were you will you fill out everything and do the test? And after that praying they will reply and not ghost you?
To me personally its a waste of energy. If you wanna know more about me, sure arrange an interview and I can answer whatever questions that you have or whatever portfolio, past work achievement that you want to see. There's really no point to all of this.

it is a waste of time...and it is a waste of your time.....

these days, murica already using AI video interview service.
not even teams call. Just you record video and they filter via AI tools

If you're experienced candidate you have the right not to reply or answer sus questions that is irrelevant to official work.

Questions such as:

1) Your marital status

2) Do you have schooling children? How many children you have in your family?

3) If your spouse working?

4) Do you have family members or relatives working in the same industry?

5) Do you have family side businesses after official working hours?

6) What kind of books do you read during free time? Name 3 of your fav books.

7) What kind of investments do you approve of? Do you have crypto investments? Which kind of crypto coins would you recommend?

8) State your religion and faith

All these type of questions seems legal and allowed in our 3rd world countries but in Europe they can be illegal because they are intrusive and non relevant to the job.

Even if you answer them very honestly your answers are going to bring weight to your hiring consideration.

Marital status for example and do you have schooling kids/children. If you answer SINGLE/BACHELOR, no children your chances of getting hired despite qualifying completely for the job may be significantly REDUCED.

This is one example how how DIVERSITY hires has become in some Western countries:

They are no more looking for suitable well qualified and skilled people but are looking beyond that. They want loyal hires which are burdened with responsibilities, cannot complain, would beg to keep their jobs and do as told obedient servants.

obvious , it is 3rd party HR firm

if they don't do this kind of unnecessary bs, their outreach and head hunting department will be cut by 75%

then again, you could be applying for an acting job or one where personality matters alot

Most probably those forms are generated and designed by AI. You'll get screen the first round with AI

welp just went to another dogshit interview. interviewer never self introduce herself, directly asking me what i think about their company etc. I wanted to self introduce she said can but dont mentioned about work, self introduce yourself like what is your hobby, how many friends and family and what do you do in your free time. wtf i come to interview job or matchmaking with you?

she also limit me only can ask 3 questions at the end of the interview. nvr even talk about the job and and when i asked her she tell me the job will only be discuss in the second interview. dafuq waste my time. btw the interviewer is the head department of the company.

i have interviewed multiple overseas company like us and japan and all of them are very professional. but everytime i interviewed local company always this kind of shit happen. pls la go and learn how to properly interview ppl.
