As part of my Job interview, I was sent a link to complete this 'assessment test'. I would have preferred a 15-min zoom call, but ok. For once in my life, I read the TOS... and of course it's sketchy.

THIS IS A SERVICE THE JOB APPLICANT IS INCLINED REGISTER TO AND GIVE YOUR SOUL TO FOR AT LEAST 5 YEARS!

I'm fortunate to have other offers.

Here was my response:

Hello,

And thank you for considering me.

Unfortunately I'm not able to use that platform as I do no consent to their TOS.

Here are some tidbits of it.

"If we sell or otherwise transfer part or the whole of TestGorilla or our assets to another organization (e.g., in the course of a transaction like a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation), your information and any other information collected through the Platform may be among the items sold or transferred."

"The retention period for test-taker data that is available to customers (e.g. name, email address, and test scores) is 5 years. "

I apologize for any inconvenience. I'm happy to do a quick call to discuss my experience and background.

Thank you.
