Applied online and received an email to set up a 30 min phone screen. After the phone screen, the recruiter passed my resume onto the hiring manager. Said they liked me as a candidate, but wanted me to take an online test asking various questions that did and did not pertain to the position. I took the test thinking it would be about 15 min. It ended up being around 45 min. Mind you, this is before the face to face interview. After a few days they informed me they are going to pass on me, which is fine. I think they had me take the test to crowd source potential strategies to implement. This shows that the company might not have a growth plan in place and needs free advice. Note to future candidates, don't bother taking that online assessment. It's meant to steal your ideas and marketing strategies.
