Is first quant trader screening interview sent to all candidates?

[cleverdonk]

I understand it will most likely vary from firm to firm, but I was wondering, in general, is the first test automatically sent to all candidates who apply, or do only certain candidates receive the initial test?

"After reviewing your application, we’ll send you two online tests to complete – the first is a 22-minute mental math test and the second is an online coding challenge that can be taken in either Python or C++."

- taken from Akuna's website as an example of what I'm talking about

If anyone knows whether certain firms send the initial screening to all candidates or only certain ones that would be helpful as well.

Can't say for trader, but in my experience i've always gotten the SWE OA
I've applied for citadel, akuna, etc - they seem to give anyone their OA

I applied to trading firms and got them, but I haven't been through enough cycles / know enough people to confirm/deny they do the same for researcher/trader roles
