Hi my name is Anders and I am the founder of DigitalMind (Denmark).
You can see more about me and my company here https://digitalmind.dk/om-os/
I have read some of the comments on this page and can see that some of you have a misconception of my company. Of course, I'm really sorry about that. Likewise, I'm sorry if you've had a bad experience with DigitalMind. To remove all misunderstandings and misinformation on this page, I will provide a description of DigitalMind and our recruitment process.
DigitalMind was founded 7 years ago. Today we are 30 employees. All employees work 100% remotely and from home. Most of our employees reside in India and Sri Lanka. Everyone who is hired by us must pass a test. That will ensure we only hire the best people. We have a separate test for all our work position (UX design, Xamarin Form developer, .NET Core developer, After Effect Designer, UI Designer, etc.). All people in the same job position make exactly the same test - e.g. all UX designer does exactly the same test, all .NET Core developers do exactly the same test, etc.
The purpose of the test is to see if the candidates are able to understand our descriptions and based on that make a good solution. It is not possible for us to only look at your previous work (e.g. Description of experience, testimonials from other clients, etc.). We need to see how you do a specific test based on our description (because that is the way you will work for us in the future). All candidates got exactly the same test. This makes it possible for us to see who is the best to understand our project description and make the best solution based on that. When you look at all the material we have made regarding a test you can clearly see that is a real test. We spent a lot of time writing the test description, making the graphics for the test, making the code for the test, etc. It takes really long time to do these tests. So I can guarantee you 100% that these tests are real and not something we do to get free work done. It would have been much easier (and less time consuming) for us to make the work by ourselves than make all the materials these tests require. Also, it would have been much cheaper just to hire a freelancer to do the work than write all the material as a test requires.
So I can guarantee you 100% sure that the test is made because we want to test our candidate's skills and not because we want free work done. And of course, we hire people. That will not give any sense to do these comprehensive tests just for fun. We use them to hire the best people. I hope this helps in relation to the misunderstandings mentioned on this page
### Information for those reading this review ###
Some of the people reading this review may believe that the person who wrote it has worked for us. To make things absolutely clear, I want to point out that the person who wrote this negative review has never worked for DigitalMind. This individual completed a test as part of the process for one of our open positions. We greatly appreciate that effort and are truly thankful - once again, thank you for taking the time to complete the test. Based on the results, we decided to proceed with other candidates, and therefore, this person has never been employed by us.
