This is sadly rife for abuse. Why hire anyone? You can just string enough candidates along to possibly not work a full solution but it could be a first line or give you a fair number of prototypes. Granted I don't know that this could ever be viable but companies would sure try because free work > paying any amount. I think most of us understand the phrase 'you get what you pay for' and yet I've personally seen many individuals and companies believe they're getting a steal. I feel like there are a few good ideas. I personally love the idea of work related assignments but only if the result is actually measured. If I don't get the job I know I've wasted my time and I can handle that. What I can't handle is giving me a task and completely ignoring the results. What will that signal to me about day to day operations? That you'll likely ignore the very real value I bring to your organization on a consistent basis. That's a big enough red flag for me to stop everything and walk right out the door. If I'm supposed to extend the courtesy of not wasting the interviewers time I expect at least some attempt at that same courtesy. |
