Honestly, HackerRank is a pretty standard and easy test. I really think it's a reasonable test, at least more reasonable than some. I've been given much harder take home tests:

However, HackerRank is just a screen on:

1. Are you going to be difficult

2. Do you have basic coding skills

Typically, I'd interview at least 10 people before I'd give an offer. Once we added improved screening we got that number down to 5 people before an offer (note screening wasn't HackerRank).

I think it's reasonable to screen and HackerRank is just that, it's not about complexity.

HackerRank isn't a test, it's a platform for testing; individual employer tests on that platform can be more or less reasonable.

Alright fair, I intended my meaning to be "HackerRank type of assessments - limited time, basic, etc."

Your comment with the intended meaning is still incorrect.

HackerRank test can be as standard or as non-standard, and as easy or as difficult as the individual employer wishes it to be.
