I received an email from a recruiter asking me to apply. Had a very short conversation with her, verifying that my experience met the JD requirements, then she submitted my resume to the HM.
I was selected for the next phase solely off my resume then sent a 58 min assessment as a next step. She asked me to complete the assessment that day and as fast as possible. The need of timely completion was reiterated several times even though I told her I was home sick that day.
When I looked at the assessment test, I declined and withdrew from being considered. If you are good at algebra, word problems, patterns, or math in general, you will be fine , but the assessment is not relevant at all to the position or your experience, skill sets as a CSM.
For me, I am not actively looking, and since there was no talk of the product, position, culture, or anything that would create excitement about role , taking an hour long assessment while sick, wasn’t worth it for me personally.
