In my unit this is how it works.

My boss has two criteria for hiring. 1. Experienced hire 2.fresh hire. Naturally for most bosses experienced hire is preferred.

Fresh grads are almost always judged based on PT. Academic is not the best indicator of ability to perform. Therefore fresh grads almost always fail at PT stage unless perform well in important attributes, or salary is within range. It's really easy to just delete fresh grads asking for too much. There's no model answer for 'too much' unfortunately.

Experienced hire usually my boss skip the PT result as their proven ability outweigh a tool made to test speed and memory which naturally they are weak in. So.. If an experienced hire scores well in PT, my boss sure grab. Makes sense right.

PT rejection is not automatic. It's just really easy to glance and reject within days.

So, contrary to rumors, the first step after PT result, is actually hiring manager making an initial decision, then pass to HR to fix the interview. There is no artificial intelligence involved.

This is how it works in my unit, I doubt it varies much in others.

So, please put in the effort to score in psychometric tests. As you can see bosses can be overly reliant on such indicators.
