During the initial application steps, I was asked to complete an online assessment from the Predictive Index and sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). This raised a few questions for me as a candidate: Is it common for the Predictive Index assessment to be part of the very first stage of the process? Should the NDA provided to candidates have a specific end date for its terms? If the NDA states that a copy will be provided after signing, is it standard practice not to share one? How can candidates review the terms later for personal reference if they do not receive a copy? I decided not to proceed further because I personally prefer time-bound agreements and to keep copies of documents I sign. The recruitment team, however, responded promptly and professionally to my inquiries.
