“Just imagine how much effort it takes to sell a vehicle from an unknown person to a customer?” How do recruiters feel about test tasks, who are they willing to pay for them, and under what conditions?
“Just imagine how much effort it takes to sell a vehicle from an unknown person to a customer?” How do recruiters feel about test tasks, who are they willing to pay for them, and under what conditions?
Test tasks: to pay or not? This question among IT professionals and recruiters is almost Hamlet-like. Only recently, at the end of April, under the post of Business Operations Manager Yulia Rubanskaya, IT specialists were lively discussing whether it is necessary to pay extra for the completion of a test task if the recruiter offered the candidate some additional work, because she rated the test a «three», and there was still time before the announced deadline. In response, the candidate denied that this would be full-fledged work that should be paid.
dev.ua decided to ask recruiters their opinion on the above situation, and also asked in which cases they see the point of compensating the cost of working time for candidates.

"A company cannot 'buy a pig in a poke'". Why do Ukrainian IT employers give candidates test tasks, how long do they take, and are they willing to pay for the tasks at EPAM, Ciklum, SoftServe, Sigma Software and other companies
Ukrainian IT professionals occasionally complain about incredibly complex and time-consuming test tasks that employers do not pay for, and sometimes even give specialists pieces of work for real projects. For the most part, the community does not respect this approach to candidate selection, believing that excessively voluminous test tasks should be paid for, and specialists' time should be compensated with money at market rates.
dev.ua asked leading Ukrainian IT companies whether they have a practice of paid test tasks and in which cases employers are ready to compensate candidates for the cost of time spent on the task. How do EPAM, SoftServe, Sigma Software, Ciklum and other companies approach test tasks?
