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.

yeah im quite aware people wont get back to every candidate lol. which is the whole point of not investing time before even having a guarantee a human will look at your application.

job searching is already tedious, demoralizing and requires a lot of time on the applicant. stuff like immediately shows no empathy for the people applying for jobs or respect for their time. like i said below somewhere, i guess the filter works. i can't imagine anyone worth their time is playing games like that
