Some of you had read my discussions about applying for a non-voiced job online, which is to teach by chatting with possible students in South Korea. I failed one of their exams because of time constraints this morning today. I was not able to complete the exam.
Here are the flaws of this hiring process:
For the first 15 minute exam (vocabulary), it needs to finish the exam with 60 questions, not before 15 minutes. 
For the second 30 minute exam (grammar), it also needs to finish the exam with 60 questions before 30 minutes.
If you noticed, the duration is not being followed. Why it needs to finish the exams before the exact time duration.
The rest of the exams is to check the speed in typing and an essay. I failed the second exam and still submitted these two requirements.
I am not sure if they are going to reconsider my application. If not, it is still not a downfall.
I will continue to hunt for another job online.
What is your point of view about this company's hiring process?

I fail to see their reasoning in this matter. If they don't reconsider, the loss will be theirs as you are knowledgeable and the type of person they seek to hire.
Of course, they don't know everything I know about you, either. Their loss is another company's gain.

@DaddyEvil I think I am ready to have a part-time job again.

@Shavkat I can understand that. You're ready for a partial change in what you do online.

Timed exams are part of the hiring process. Nothing new here.
Anyway, good luck and hope they reconsider your application.

i suspect you hire the same people over and over based on that. The imperfection alone has to drive them nuts over time.

@DocAndersen I do like challenges and this time, it made me puzzled and dismayed with the rules.

Since you have no say in the matter you will have to abide by those rules which you say do not make sense. Such is life Rufo. You have tenacity and that will take you places.

I agree. With this first impression of mine, I will not ask for reconsideration. From the very start, there is really something wrong. I am done with my current company's random changes of rules. Trying to find a better one than these companies.

Seems fine to me.
They want you to complete certain activities in a set time.

Hi, I found on my twitter pages this tweet about children vaccines:
Hoping to find a post if yours to share it. I'm not HR, si don't know about hiring process. Seems, very strict in the overview of it. Good luck finding a job.

I really cannot understand it, too. When doing some research about them, I find it odd that they are hiring people in Uganda. I am not saying bad about it, but it is not common to do this in other countries, except for native speakers who are in the USA, Europe, and the like.

maybe that's too much, but knowing myself i'd be like: if somebody else passed it, then it's not impossible. it's my fault.
i'm sure you'll find another job!

That would stress me out. I don't really do well when I have to go against the clock. However, the process does make sense. They want to ensure whoever they hire can keep up with inconsistant schedules or whatever the job might throw at them.

It seems like they give really hard tasks to perhaps see who can or cannot pass and might not even want to hire too many people, I sure wish you the best of luck and hope you can be reconsidered or find a better company to work for
