Element (UK) interview questions

I was contacted by a third-party recruiter, who passed my CV along to them, and was then told to do the same unpaid test that others have mentioned involving parsing a crontab. It wasn't particularly difficult, but did take some time, and after doing it and submitting it, I waited a week and was then told that they decided to freeze their hiring for the year. They may not have even looked at the project, and certainly didn't offer any feedback on it. I find that totally unprofessional and the takeaway lesson for future applicants is - don't be surprised if they completely waste your time.

I went straight to the coding challenge since I got told my profile was very interesting and I seemed to know well about the company etc. Then did the same coding challenge as the others (cron job). Won't complain about the fact that it's not purely a frontend challenge as anyway lot of companies do that (Codility kind of thing), and nowadays frontend means fullstack anyway. But then even before I had time to send it back I received an email saying they had found other devs already. I answered with my coding challenge, hoping for a feedback or an answer but no luck (I was expecting it..).
