Interview
Applicants, be warned before applying to a role in this company. I had a very similar experience to the prior review. I applied for this role online and received notification that I was accepted to the next round. For the second round they offer you the option of either speaking to a recruiter for 15 minutes, at which time, you will receive your case study assignment OR they offer you to complete the case study analysis without speaking to anyone, which is (recommended). The case study consists of two separate parts. The first part should be "no longer than 5 pages" and the second should be no longer than "10 pages." They ask you to complete the assignment within seven days. The reasoning for giving the case study was that since they are a remote company, they want to see how you write and express your thoughts. Let me just say that I was almost an English major in college and have ghost written articles for newspapers for years. I would like to consider my writing developed and concise. I spent almost a day writing and editing nearly fifteen pages. I spent way more time than necessary (and for the estimated salary) completing this assignment. Once submitted, I received an email a few days later saying that they have enjoyed getting to know me, (without ever speaking to me), but I would not be moving forward. "Given that we are a fully remote company, we place a heavy emphasis on clear thinking that can be expressed in writing, as this is our primary method of communication." I received no further feedback and never spoke to anyone in the company. I was very skeptical when writing this case study based on the prior review. However, I have to admit that it really does look like this company is utilizing their position of power to receive a plethora of strategic plans and ideas from candidates. It was a very unfortunate experience and waste of time. I hope that the company rethinks its hiring process for the future.

Interview
First you complete a case study, then you talk to the hiring manager for the role. That will be followed by another take-home case study that is a little longer and more in depth. That's as far as I got in the process, but they gave me helpful feedback after the second case study on what to improve

Applied Online > Prompt Follow-Up from Recruiter (automated response suspected)
Echoing all other reviews here, I received a prompt invitation from a recruiter inviting me to complete and submit a case study. The case study in question was an interesting problem and did provide the chance to demonstrate written and analytical skills. But the positive ends there..
The offline submission of the completed case without any live presentation was a red flag. Against my better judgement, I ignored all reviews here and spent >10 hours completing the case and received a prompt rejection 2 days after submission.
It appears that the Clipboard HR / Recruiting team is well aware of this egregious practice but has chosen to be blind and defensive in its practices.
Case studies as an evaluation aren't bad but it's just disappointing to have to invest such a long time towards one and not receive so much as an introductory call, basic mutual fit assessment or even feedback on the case.
You are being disingenuous to candidates and signaling how self-righteous you consider yourselves. While you will get away with it in the current hot labor market, there will definitely come a time when the candidate pool will dwindle, who are unwilling to put up with this joke of an interview process.
My 2 cents: Conduct a basic introductory and screening round. There are no excuses for skipping this. If you must have a case study as the first line interview, design it such that folks aren't spending more than 5 hours on it just for the opportunity to speak to someone.
