I think not pursuing a position (or doing a lot of other things) due to your own values is always the right choice assuming no one else’s health and well-being is on the line. In this case I distinctly support your decision (I mean if anyone would it’s the people on Lemmy). I cannot stand that in every situation where an individual has even the slightest amount of desperation, like needing income to feed you and your family, a company will always, without fail, take advantage of it to save themselves the slightest bit of money. I’m not even inherently against the idea of digital pre-screening type processes like this assessment, but because the job seeker is usually in need of income, they will jump through these ridiculous hoops to make it work and companies know it so they put no effort into making it an easy process.
These are real human beings who, if they ever need to find a job again, will have to go through these SAME things and no one (with the power to do so) ever stops and thinks… man this sucks… we should make this easier.
