If you're hiring based on the quality of videoed timed responses to surprise questions then I don't think I really want to work for you.

The only time I've had to do that was when applying for doctoral studies and the fact that they were using that kind of interview for that level of program really just made me feel like I didn't want to work with them. Seemed to be their approach though as the rest of their application process was so full of impersonal bureaucratic bs that I eventually told them I didn't care anymore and walked away. I do a lot of interviewing and hiring in my job and I know that systematized interviews have many benefits, but beyond prescreening there needs to be some opportunity for real communication to assess whether or not this is a long-term relationship you actually want to enter into.
