A fully automated process, feels like filtering grains of sand.
Lenghtly automatic emails where you are asked to complete various tasks, that are 10% related to the job description or your skills.
Step 1 - online application -> passed
Step 2 - lengthy email with a written assessment -> completed the assessment-> passed
The topics:
The most appropriate marketing mix
The interactions between sales and marketing
Measuring ROI for your activities
And as a personal question I would like to hear what set you apart at while at University
Step 3 - lengthy email asking to complete 2 tests (Thomas GIA and Thomas PPA) -> completed -> "we are sorry" automated e-mail
After the last step I kindly asked the recruiting manager (in the From line in all the automated emails) to allocate some time to have a quick call, providing my motivation and my constructive approach -> no answer back.
That was a wow process ...assessments not related to the JD, use an IQ/personality test to make the final decision, no human interaction.
