Job hunters hate writing resumes as much as they hate being judged by their ability to write them (or their ability to pay a resume writer). But, then, how else will a company select candidates to interview?
Some employers have started an “open hiring policy,” whereby if you meet the basic qualifications, it’s first come, first hired. But Molson Coors — a brewing company that puts out brands like Coors, Miller, Foster, and Carling — has decided to take this to the next level and scrap CVs altogether for certain positions in their European region.
As Joe Sidley, Molson Coors’ head of talent acquisition for Western Europe, EMEA, and APAC, explained in HR Magazine:

Interesting and thought-provoking article.
And I can already see the beginning sentence in a related article written 10 years from now:
“Job hunters hate tasked-based assessments as much as they hate being judged by their ability to write them (or their ability to pay a TBA writer). But, then, how else will a company select candidates to interview?
But I could be wrong.
Maybe in 10 years the hiring model will be employers using AI to write advertisements and evaluate applicants, applicants deploying AI to respond to AI-written job advertisements and evaluations, and both employers and employees spending their days in time-killing failed-business / unemployment malls while AI is busy building the products. offering the services, and buying what companies are offering.
On a similar note as the previous comment, I can see the protests about this method of find the right suitable candidate as being biased against someone who has problems with dealing with this type of testing because they feel that it is biased in some form. However certain jobs needs specific job skills and therefore specialized testing.
This kind of evaluation eliminates resume puffing.
