I originally spoke with a Talent Acquisition member who was very pleasant and knowledgeable of the position that the company was hiring for. My first interview was scheduled, and I was told I would have to take an assessment test that was not yet ready at the time and was told I had a certain number of days to complete. I received the link for the assessment test and completed it the day before for my interview. The day of the interview I just so happen to check my email and was told that they were moving on with other candidates. I was a little confused, so I reached out via email and asked was I not qualified enough or was my assessment answers not adequate. I was told although, my assessment score was not bad it wasn't good enough to justify the salary I was requesting. I was a little disappointed that I didn't at least receive a call informing me of the decision I’m more disappointed that (in this case) an assessment test was used to overlook my 19 years of overall IT experience (14 of them years working directly in Information/Cyber Security, 9 years Federal experience with 4 of them years working with a direct client of theirs, and a T3 level security clearance). Overall, I researched the company a lot prior to applying and was EXCITED about the potential opportunities that I believe would’ve presented itself. I feel I would’ve been a valuable asset. I wish I was giving the chance to at least interview and speak directly to the Team and Managers. Instead, I was disqualified on an assessment test that ask you questions and give scenarios that should and was based on your experience which I provided in full.
