Ask HN: How do we discourage extreme aptitude tests in the hiring process?

阿新 • • 發佈：2018-12-28
Throughout my entire development career I've dealt with increasingly extreme aptitude tests that other industries simply don't have. For a recent senior role I was told to either fill out a 3 hour exam or write a 500 word essay convincing them that I know JS.

Is there anything candidates can do to discourage this kind of practice?
