The hiring manager requested an assessment test, but I was surprised when they later emailed to say I hadn't responded—especially since they never actually sent me anything. It felt like they weren't genuinely looking to recruit potential candidates, or perhaps they already had someone in mind for the role.
The position was supposed to involve two assessment tests. The first was a multiple-choice aptitude test focused entirely on sales approaches (it took more than an hour to do with over 100 questions). However, after completing that, they informed me via email that they wouldn't be moving forward with my application.
