# It's the Hunger Games now — one viral video's takedown of modern hiring gauntlets

**[TRUE STORY]** — by Content creator · via social media

A young woman's Spanish-language video comparing multi-stage hiring processes to The Hunger Games has racked up thousands of views and a wave of agreement across social media. "Seven tests, two challenges, prove why you're worthy of working at this great company — where we'll pay you 10,000 pesos a month. And you're competing against 30 other people." She saved particular scorn for the ritual of asking candidates why they want the job, then treating the faintest pause or glance to the left as evidence the applicant is "a psychopath who doesn't deserve to be here." The video, posted July 15, has drawn comments from viewers across Latin America and Spain who say the gauntlet-to-pay ratio has become absurd.
