Do you have any evidence, like a study, to back up those claims of effectiveness? I'm sure you can find someone claiming any sort of useless hiring process works for them. I mean, how do you even know how things would have turned out with an alternative process?
- danpalmer 11y agoI'm not sure what you want a study for, I assume you want a study about the effectiveness of coding tests as a measure of ability, but that's not the point I was making. My points were addressing the rejection from the author of the blog post. I feel we get a large amount of information from coding tests, but it is only a part of a larger interview process that covers communication abilities, and many other important aspects, so it's very difficult to test in isolation. I don't have data to back up that claim of effectiveness, but I have nearly 2 years of seeing this particular hiring process (and seeing the 'borderline' test candidates come in and always fail the interviews - tests are anonymous, we only find out after interviews). Our CTO has quite a bit more experience with this process and appears to hold similar opinions based on our conversations about it in the past.
