    In all fairness, I don't generally like the idea of testing at all. However, I just recalled a conversation I had with a headhunter a couple of months ago: sometimes, a candidate has done a lot of bread-and-butter work at an agency that was made to client order (as opposed to having creative freedom on a given project), and may not adequately reflect a candidate's talent or skills (or both). However, because they're the only things a candidate has in their folio, due to the bad luck of it.

    So, in that regard, a test could be a good opportunity to see how creative and talented a candidate is.

    • True, but this candidate should at least make up 'fake' pieces so they have somethingjeremydouglas
    • Or at least include unpublished ideas that weren't sold to clients, like I have.Continuity
    • The candidate will have the best work they've done for the best ringing brands in their folio, that's obviousraf
