| Feb 6, 2019 at 11:57 | comment | added | Moschops | @michaelHarvey Well that just seems silly. Forms requiring BLACK ink generally require it for photocopying purposes. If someone knew this, and used a dark blue that they knew would photocopy well, they would have independently used their own knowledge to find a good solution to the problem - yet be instantly rejected. If it's not about photocopying, that should be tested explicitly ("Complete this form with a BLACK ball point pen or it will be rejected - this is a test of your ability to follow this instruction"); right now, some smart, knowledgable candidates are being filtered out. | |

At the top of the form are instructions, which include "Complete this form with a BLACK ball point pen". Guess which forms end up in the shredder during the sift? | |
