unsolicited feedback, a 30min coding exercise before I even talk to a real human to know if the job is a fit is insane.

edit: why doesn't this have a parent comment anymore? bug?

No one is going to do a face to face call with every candidate.

Giving someone a coding exercise is the most time and cost effective way to filter people. Why waste time spending eng or HR hours calling someone when they can't code? As dumb as it sounds, giving a simple assignment probably culls the number of actually applicants down significantly.
