So, I am still looking for a new HR job and it is very frustrating. I have been getting interviews, some good, some bad. I went through 5 rounds, only to be told they hired from within. I've been in HR for over 20 years - had a director's title and have been in leadership roles for 15 years. I know my stuff.
This morning, I got a requirement to take an assessment to "begin" the hiring process. Now, I hate pre-interview assessments. At the best of times they are insulting and at the worst totally useless. But, desperate times, I was willing to go through the motions.... until...
First, I click on the link and click the Cookies pop up to disable anything unnecessary. They don't allow you to opt out of cookies and they share your info to several websites. I clicked everything to try to disable them, but no go. This is not acceptable.
Second, as I was getting ready to close the browser, I see that they require you to keep your camera on so that they can take screen shots. WTF
I responded to the recruiting coordinator that sent the assessment to me and explained why I was opting out. I'm not a child. I don't need a monitor. I am not agreeing to your cookies.
Maybe I'm just too old for this crap and I need to become a hermit with the pets.
