And then if you’re not ignored and somehow pass the screening, there’s the dreaded “technical interview”, which is becoming a thing in many fields now after being popularised in the IT, programming and software development hiring process. Basically make grown ass adults who already have degrees take an exam with an extremely stringent time limit. No way this could lead to biases against neurodivergent people or those with physical or mental disabilities, no way at all.
The hiring process for the industry I’m in is just 1) do you have these certs and 2) do you have a recommendation, then it’s just a couple bs phone calls and you’re in.
My company tried to do the practical application test and, to no one’s surprise, found out that they couldn’t find anyone qualified because all the actually qualified people stopped when they found out there was a test
