    Look at it from the candidates point of view. You have a set of questions or a task you want us to take the time to complete. We do not have the option to ask you questions and see if it is a good fit. That is one reason why we see it as unfair.

    Now I understand that you may have hundreds of applications, 24 hours in a day, and a deadline. I don’t have a better solution for you because I’ve never hired anyone, sorry. I feel for you but many people hate one way interviews.

      That’s not the experience we give. What you describe sounds bad.

      • candidate gets an email explain company and position in about 3 paragraphs, along with responsibilities and skill we’re looking for.
      • offers a short 3 minute video explaining company and role.
      • offers a one way interview to introduce themselves, and describe relevant skills or other anecdotes about themselves.
      • every candidate receives a phone call
      • promoted candidates get f2f (video chat) interview.

      So yeah. Perhaps not optimal, but it helps us hire more effectively, and we can process twice {roughly} as many candidates
