[QUOTE="trainee4u, post: 247122, member: 30779"] generally failing the WG is an automatic PFO, but they won't necessarily send it automatically. WG is not very selective in the sense that if you set your threshold at say 36/40 then you exclude people who are actually 36/40 candidates but scored 32/40 due to the inherent variability between tests. That means it makes sense to reject people automatically who fall below a certain threshold that you've chosen but you don't want to necessarily automatically accept the higher candidates as there's too much randomness. So it's a "rejection-only" filter, and that filter will likely to be set a a "competent" rather than "amazingly outstanding" level, because by rejecting below "competent" most of the candidates you reject will indeed be unsuitable for the job, as opposed to the baby with bathwater approach where you reject people purely to filter out as quickly as possible because you're lazy and don't want to consider a larger set of criteria. (I know that WBD used their magic mouse moving game they got from Temu after watching a Tiktok as the sole means of selecting candidates, but relying on one data point to select the best candidates is really bad practice.)
