Imagine this scenario: you found your dream game company, they have the perfect opening for you, the job spec is a great fit to your skills and experience, the project is cool and exciting. You decide to prepare an application, you brush up your resume and write a tailored cover letter explaining why you’re the best candidate for this role, and send it their way.
A few days later you get on an intro call, you go through your profile and learn more about the company. Everything seems to be going great. Finally, as the hiring manager explains the hiring process, you learn that the next step, before talking to the engineering team, is to complete a timed technical test.
You probably don’t need to imagine this, as every engineer working in the game industry, at some point in their career, had to endure a lengthy technical test as part of a recruitment process.
