Do all candidates necessarily start at the same stage of trial tasks in most organizations? I could imagine a very short “stage 0” trial task requested only from candidates who would be on the bubble of moving on to the first, moderately time-consuming task if there were no “stage 0“ task to evaluate. The “stage 0” task would only need enough power to tip someone on the bubble over into either the “it’s respectful to ask them to do a more demanding task” or “respect their time and move on” buckets. Of course, you’d need to find a quick “stage 0” task that correlates well enough with either job performance or later-stage test performance.
