While applying for positions, do you feel that you commit hours to the screening process?

What I'm seeing now seems to be a twist on that process. Employers are now asking applicants to screen themselves via email or in some cases during a telephone interview. Additionally, some employers will no longer spend time interviewing candidates unless they've successfully passed the screening assessment, whatever that might be.

The question for careers professionals becomes one of how do we prepare you as a job seeker for this new way of hiring? It seems that every company has their unique process and the only way to discover it is to apply or to connect with a recently hired new employee.

What are you seeing in the screening process today when applying for positions?
