On one side there are criticisms for unpaid labour with no guarantee it would lead to successful employment but on the other side, you may need to demonstrate your ability to actually know what to do. They cant work with a candidate that interviewed well only for the candidate to not know what to do after being hired. Plus if you are currently unemployed, you likely do have a spare 90 minutes in your day.

They couldn't do a couple of shorter tests to get a sense if the person knew what they were doing?

I got feeling a lot of people outraged about "Lazy Gen Zers" are also totally fine with prisons using boarderline slave labor.

Some jobs do require proof though. Its really easy to just lie on paper. Happened to me once. We hired a guy who said he worked with a major company, and the work we got from him was worse than a teenager.

Daily Mail requires ads or a sub to read. What are the contents of the article and what was the task?

Are we talking about a coding task?


This. I have some positions which we ask the candidates to do minors tasks to simulate what their job will be. Its important and a good way to weed people out that lie on their resumes or just arent good. It doesnt take 90 minutes but is a key part of the hiring process.

Looks like it was a financial modeling task via Excel.

I get wanting an interviewee to demonstrate some level of proficiency but a 90 minute task for free seems a bit much. Maybe just show them the spreadsheet and ask how they would solve it or something.

Work samples are a normal and expected part of many types of jobs, and financial analyst is one where I would fully expect to have to demonstrate my abilities as part of the interview process

I assume this is just the Daily Mail pandering to their boomer gammon readership with an article about how lazy young people are these days.
