Telling you to do some bullshit task extracting data from linkedin, youtube, etc. No clear explanation on how they evaluate task they give you.

Applied for a "junior growth marketing role" and received a direct email from the "CEO"—no interview, no screening—only instructions to install developer tools, create a GitHub repo, and submit a task within 48 hours, "no extensions". (see their email below) For a marketing position, that’s a clear misalignment. There’s also no transparency on how many steps follow, how candidates are evaluated, or whether there is any real interaction at all. The entire process places the burden on the applicant to complete time-bound tasks upfront, with no corresponding investment from the company. If this reflects how they structure hiring, it raises questions about how they approach operations more broadly. Companies should be cautious to associate their brand with this practice. Applicants, read the instructions carefully before committing your time. "Alex Kravets alex @ hundredhires . com Hi (xxxx), Thanks for applying. Here's how our process works, it's different from what you're used to. We don't do interviews. Instead, we ask you to complete a portfolio project. This project is not related to our company. it's yours to keep and show to other potential employers, even if we don't end up working together. We know that for junior candidates the hardest part is often not learning fast, but proving capability without prior experience. This process is built to solve exactly that problem. The first step is simple: install a few tools, create a GitHub repository, and send us the link. Here's what to do: 1. Install Cursor IDE — https: //cursor. com/ 2. Add the Claude Code add-on in Cursor (Extensions → search "Claude Code") and log in to it. 3. Add the Codex add-on in Cursor (Extensions → search "Codex") and log in to it. 4. Create a public GitHub repository (if you don't have a GitHub account yet, create one at https: // github .com/) 5. Open the repository in Cursor 6. Create a README.md file that describes: — What tools you installed — What steps you completed — What issues you ran into and how you solved them 7. Commit and push to GitHub 8. Reply to this email with the link to your README.md file on GitHub Deadline: 48 hours from now. No extensions. If you don't know how to do a specific step, that's completely fine. Search YouTube for a tutorial (e.g., "how to create a GitHub repository", "how to push code to GitHub", "how to install Cursor extensions"). Finding answers on your own is part of what we're looking for. If you complete this step on time, we'll send you the next one. At the end of the process, you'll have a public portfolio project demonstrating your research, synthesis, judgment, and AI-tool skills, something you can show to any future employer. Good luck, Alex Kravets CEO, 100Hires"

I recently applied for a Growth Marketing Manager role at 100Hires and unfortunately had a very poor candidate experience. The job posting stated that the hiring process would consist of submitting an application followed by one interview with the CEO and a final decision within 48 hours. However, the process turned out to be very different. After applying, I was first asked to complete a questionnaire (Quiz). Then I received an email from the CEO asking about my availability for an interview, which led me to believe the next step would indeed be an interview with him. Instead, I was scheduled for an interview with HR. The HR interview itself was extremely uncomfortable. It consisted of more than 20 rapid-fire questions with no engagement, discussion, or reflection on the answers I provided. The interviewer did not ask a single question about cultural fit, motivations, or who I am as a professional, which is typically the purpose of an HR conversation. Instead, the interview focused almost entirely on recalling very specific metrics and data points from roles I held years ago, without any space for context or discussion. After that interview, I was asked to complete another assignment. Shortly after submitting it, I received a rejection email. Overall, the process felt disorganised, impersonal, and very different from what was initially communicated in the job description. Recruitment is often a company’s first interaction with potential employees and reflects its culture. Unfortunately, this experience did not leave a positive impression. I hope the company reconsiders how it communicates its hiring process and how candidates are treated during interviews.
