Do you think potential candidates should be reimbursed in some form for taking assessments that are required by the employer in order to be considered for employment?

Also, should this be available for only job candidates who are not considered for the position?

Or should it go for every job candidate, even the ones that get the position?

Thanks for reading and being your most precious and sensual self ❤️.

    Not everyone is 20 years old. This absolutely doesn’t make sense if you’re hiring a 50 year old person who has been working for 30 years; their college grades are completely irrelevant at that point.

      Right, but if someone has been working for 30 years consistently do you really still need to assess them? Does an interview not suffice?

        Depends on the role I think. Also, this is very relevant for people who have been working for just 5 years. 5 years in a job you can learn just as much practical knowledge as 5 years in college… or not.

      Nobody is hiring 50 year olds. They are getting rid of 50 year olds and replacing them with 20 year olds
