I am not sure if the questions posed were for the benefit of the organization but it truly helped me understand the unprofessionalism in there. what do you mean by stability? do you expect people to retire from Cactus once they join? what is the longest time you expect an employee to stick to the same company? i dont think it is is either in benefit of the company or that of the employee to stick on forever. I believe that asking such questions was not done on purpose, but because of a lack of training and awareness Nevertheless, thanks for letting us all know about the organisation right on day one.

Thank you for your reply, Global Talent Acquisition, Cactus Communications. Nevertheless, it is still disappointing to have lost a great opportunity to work with Cactus Communications, due to some silly, baseless "apprehensions". I would have taken it positively had I not cleared the technical tests, and worked towards it. But the reason given to me is not justifiable at all. Less

I had to say no because I didn't want to falter in anyway and lose this great opportunity. Had I known they were so unprofessional, I wouldn't have answered this question. Secondly, if they can ask me such sensitive questions, why didn't they clear their doubt if I will work there for long term or get bored eventually. Less

I believe this is a scam designed to get lots of candidates to do work for them for free without every hiring anyone. Same thing happened to me in October 2020. They've been posting the same 2 digital marketing jobs for months. I applied and got an email with a functional test of 32 questions to complete that took me hours to do. Sent it in and was told I wasn't moving forward with the process. They keep reposting these jobs over and over again. Scam. Less

Hi there, I've noted that you have posted the same comment multiple times now but our answer remains the same. It's understandable to be upset because you didn't receive the job but asking for skills assessment is completely normal. How else would an employer know if the person who says they have certain skill set for a job such as digital marketing assess the applicant's actual abilities? If you were not selected, it's because you didn't have the skills required unfortunately. We do tend to be very selective and sometimes our hiring process takes over 6 months. We will keep posting the same job over and over until we find someone suitable at our sole discretion. To be clear the functional test has zero value to our organization beyond assessing an applicant's skill levels and we're not using to get people to do "free work" for us. Lastly, our marketing team members who have been hired take about an hour to complete the task. If it takes someone more than two hours, they are probably not at the skill level suitable for us yet. With hard work and experience we're sure you can get the required skills and find a suitable position at another organization. All the best. Less
