Nest (UK) interview questions

I was approached through a recruiter and asked to complete a detailed written assessment before any interview stage. The assessment wasn't a simple screening question. It required multiple structured examples covering Martech programme delivery, implementation complexity, programme duration, vendor management experience, personal responsibilities and measurable outcomes across different organisations. Completing it required a significant investment of time and effectively amounted to providing a mini case study. After submitting the assessment, I received a generic rejection email stating that my application had been unsuccessful and that no feedback could be provided due to application volumes. If a company is prepared to ask candidates to invest that level of effort before even reaching an interview, it should be prepared to provide meaningful feedback in return. Requesting detailed examples of a candidate's experience and expertise and then responding with a generic automated rejection demonstrates little respect for candidate time. The issue isn't being unsuccessful. The issue is expecting candidates to complete tasks while offering nothing meaningful in return.
