Summary from the TLDR Marketing newsletter

Companies need to stop requesting free work from job candidates. Some marketers avoid roles requiring unpaid tasks, while others complete assignments only to be ghosted or see their ideas used without credit. Instead of large projects, companies can ask candidates to share highlights of their previous work or discuss anonymized examples of their strategies. They can also compensate candidates for interview assignments, portfolio reviews, and case study presentations.
