small rant, bad recruiter, just annoyed

Short post here, but I've been job searching for 2 months now. I have an MS in biological sciences and currently work in pharmaceuticals. Applied to a remote life sciences consulting position and heard back from a recruiter today. They offered no “hey, thanks for applying! We're interested in talking!” Just told me they needed me to take an online GMAT to test my analytical and critical thinking skills. The test is easily over 2 hours long. I have a master's degree…. And multiple publications.. and they need me to dedicate 2 hours of my life to take a test for a job I know very little about, including possible compensation? Ridiculous. On to the next.
