They reached out to me in an email after I applied then made me take a "personality" test to see if I would fit their company culture. This personality test does not tell you what you score. From experience with these tests and being in the HR field, I automatically get a red flag about these types of companies that use these prescreening tactics. Before anyone even has a chance to let them know who they are as a person, they make the applicant take a test that decides if they are given the chance for a phone screen. Companies use these tests to make sure that they get the "perfect candidate," however who decides who these perfect candidates are? The companies that conduct the tests? But here is what you need to be wary of about these testing companies and ask questions like what are they basing their information on, who was used as the basis of these studies in determining the best work personality (race, gender, sex, abled or disabled)? When you take a brief look at who works at Aya on LinkedIn, you can see mostly a sea of white faces. In the wake of Diversity, Inclusion, Equity, and Belonging recruiting initiatives you clearly see that their Talent Acquisition team did not talk about how the screening process can isolate minority groups and communities. Having done more research, I noticed they do not have an executive that runs and manages DEIB initiatives (VP of Diversity, Manager of Inclusion, etc.). More and more companies are releasing diversity reports to make sure that they are eliminating bias and hire from underrepresented groups to make sure all voices are heard. For such a progressive company that is a huge red flag!
