Thank you for your response. I have actually been involved from an interviewer side too, so I do know that there are issues on that side of things and especially for smaller companies, hiring the wrong person can be very expensive.

I'm not at all saying to cut out tests, but that there should be some flexibility with the types of tests.

It's great that you're paying for people to do the longer process, I think things like this make a big difference in the interview experience. If you imagine a developer might have to go through a good amount of tests, for multiple companies then that's a huge time investment. At the end of the day, people looking for a job will be making you lots of money if they get the job.

Large corporations also have many people involved in the hiring process and I do not believe that they cannot do more to make it more inclusive just due to the amount of applications.
