The Problem: A Hiring Process Built on Mistrust
Trust is the foundation of any strong working relationship, yet many companies unknowingly start off on the wrong foot by forcing candidates to prove their skills with time-consuming case studies, unpaid projects, or excessive testing—despite an already thorough interview process.
This approach doesn’t just frustrate candidates. It signals distrust, turning top talent away and making the hiring process longer and more expensive than it needs to be.
Workplace Scenario: When the Hiring Process Sends the Wrong Message
Emma, a seasoned marketing strategist, applies for a leadership role at a growing tech company. She has a decade of experience, a strong track record, and glowing recommendations. During the interview, she confidently walks the hiring team through her past successes—launching major campaigns, leading high-performing teams, and driving revenue growth.
The team is impressed. But instead of moving forward, they ask Emma to complete a multi-step case study requiring 15+ hours of unpaid work to “prove” she can do the job.
Emma hesitates. If they don’t trust her experience now, will they ever? The request feels like a red flag. If this is how they treat candidates, how do they treat employees?
She withdraws from the process.
This isn’t just Emma’s story—it’s happening everywhere. Companies that over-index on “proof” lose top talent before they even get to the offer stage. And if candidates don’t trust the hiring process, how can they trust the company?
