There's this new thing (to me) going around called "automated recruitment". From contacting candidates, to assessment, to (sometimes even) job offer, the person just goes through a pipeline. There are a few products that provide this experience and others that only do a part (contact, assessment, contract + onboarding, whatever else).

I ended up in one of these pipelines and was assessed by TestGorilla, which was a very unpleasant experience. So I'm curious if someone got through something similar and what their experience during and afterwards (working in a place like that) was like.

I've had multiple responses asking to take a test before any call or interview. A fair bit, actually. Only agreed to it once and won't do it again either, but in this economy, it wouldn't surprise me if desperation drove people to just do it.

I skipped the test portion with the last interview I did because I told them I didn't wanna do it. But I suspect we may be at different points in our careers with different trajectories.
