Why do people agree to this? An hour assignment after speaking with someone is one thing, biut I had a couple of companies ask for homework before meeting anyone. Just didn't respond. Teach them it's not OK.

Some people are desperate for employment.

Exactly. I was unemployed for several months and once the desperation kicked in, I would have done anything to get a job.

You've been unemployed for months, your bank account is almost depleted, and the thought of being homeless is becoming very real. It's tough to stay being picky at that point.

Can you please explain this idea—I’ve not heard it before? And who, specifically, has designed and implemented this?
