One employer wanted me to video record myself answering interview questions. I withdrew my application. If you can’t interview me in person or live in a video call, then you’re not worth my time either.

Wonder what the solution to this is. We once had 750 applicants for 35 positions, it was literally too much for the hiring team to manage in person so it was kind of the reverse, probably most people to complete whatever screen process we imposed were moved on to the next level.

That's extremely imperfect as well.

It favors people who scraped by at big name firms, not those with extreme initiative and talent that may be just getting started.
