I might be willing to negotiate with a guy who calls me up and claims he’s kidnapped my girlfriend. I’d do just about anything to get her back safely. But If he asked me to pay for proof she was still alive, I’d start making funeral plans.
People who are serious about making a deal go out of their way to demonstrate they’re acting in good faith. Withholding information and setting up hoops for prospects to jump through are not the actions of someone who expects a mutually beneficial arrangement.
If they’re willing to impose this much on strangers, how do they treat their employees?
Hm. Your total karma is 0, but you have posts scored 2, 1, 7, 1, 1, and 4 just in this thread. What’s up with that?
At any rate, you’re putting words in my mouth. I described the employer as “setting up hoops for prospects to jump through.” You rephrased that as “hoops [they are] making us jump through.” Why the attitude?
Also, I don’t think it’s a complaint (or particularly imaginative) to say that a company that won’t even confirm the existence of the job in public, but still wants your personal information and work history, might be more than ordinarily likely to take advantage of its employees.

What exactly is this “much” that they’re imposing on us? What hoops are they making us jump through?
Did you mistake Larks’ comment as coming from the potential employer?
(It’s unbelievable how imaginative some people are in finding things to complain about...)

One poorly received post wiped out a lot of karma.
Very well, as it happens. You should Aumann update from those who worked it out.
