Assessments, and the future of work.

The four types of video interviews hirers use today, from one-way recorded pitches and AI-scored interviews to conversational AI and live calls, compared on direction, timing, retakes and whether anyone can ask a follow-up. With research on what each format costs.

Thousands of posts call unpaid take-homes exploitative. Some of that anger is earned and some is not. What the law actually says, where an assessment turns into free labor, and what a fair honorarium looks like.

A resume is 500 words. An interview is about 6,300. A 45-minute screenshare of a candidate walking through their real work is worth at least 270,000, and that's a deliberately conservative estimate.
