- 20 hour mini-project (50% filtered out — 2 left)

Is this paid? This seems like an awful lot of hoops to make people jump through.

Yes it is :)

From our perspective, it’s saved us from making some big mistakes (I.e. bad hires), so it’s a hugely important part of the process.

Those that have gone through it have mostly raved about the experience - including those that we’ve rejected! They get a lot of coaching as part of it, and it also serves to demonstrate if we’re a good fit for them.

I should also note that we’re often able to make the call in 12-15 hours. As soon as we’ve seen what we need to, we finish the project and move forward :)
