I recently applied for a Community Coordinator job at Remote Growth Partners and was excited to be told I was considered, but had to complete an exercise before I could move to another round. I spent about an hour and a half completing the exercise last week Friday. Today I get an email saying they have gone with another candidate which I would usually accept except they didn’t even review the exercises they had given me. I was asked to write a document and also provide a video explaining my thought process. The Google doc was not reviewed and the video on Loom is still sitting on 0 views.
A bit more information. Only one link could be sent back, so I sent the Google doc link. I then followed up with an email (which was given for questions/inquiries) asking where I can share the link to the Loom video as it was mentioned I should not send it through the candidates email address on 01 May. By Monday 04 May when I had not received a response, I proceeded to send the link to the candidates email address. I got a rejection email even before receiving a response for my question, and with my exercise doc and video not reviewed. I feel I have not been fairly assessed. I am not angry about the rejection, just upset at the time I spent to not even get my content which I put a lot of time and effort into, reviewed.
