Interviewing processes have really gotten out of hand as of lately. I've recently witnessed the new practice of having candidates take online personality tests which claim to be able to determine my personality by having me answer to multiple choice questions like: 'I like arts' or 'I trust my parents' (ref.: https://www.hoganassessments.com/). I've had a hard laugh at this, while talking about it with a psychiatrist friend: how are you able to give value to said answers without any clue of context? I've spent most of my life dealing with my parents' alcohol abuse and suicidal tendencies, how am I gonna get judged by how much I trust them? How does it take my therapist so long to delve into such delicate topics, while HR can have me take a 10 minutes online test and get my life sorted out? I swear, I respect all crafts, but I swear HR is always the scummiest department wherever I go. It's basically -with due exceptions, like always in life- unskilled people lobbying to make each other look professional, while assuming they're CEOs, psychiatrists and technical leads, despite having chosen the HR career path on the sole basis of not having any expendable professional competence to apply in any field. And I don't say this with resentment, I've aced the hogan tests for all my interviews.
