So I just started at a medium sized company as a field technician, and after interviewing and offering me the job, they sent an email which stated their 45 minute personality test MUST be done prior to my first day. This was on top of uploading documents, FaceTiming their HR rep so that he could try to find out why one document wouldn’t allow me to sign, signing employee handbooks, watching new hire intro videos, etc. All in all it took about 3 hours of my time to do. When I asked if it would be paid, they said “noooo that stuff is more like to get you in the door” when he had me hostage on zoom so he could fix his own paperwork mistake, it was taking a while so I asked if I could just sign the one troubled document in person and his response was “well no I’d rather figure this out now in case I run into. Again”. So basically they don’t think it’s important enough to pay me, but it’s important enough for them to require it…. If they had required the 45 minute personality test in the application process, I would’ve never applied.
