Have you seen their homepage?
https://starfighters.io/ https://starfighters.io/
"Starfighter is a recruiting firm that
detects and introduces the best programmers on the market."
And to learn how they achieve it, see: https://starfighters.io/approach https://starfighters.io/approach
And to provide some context as to why Patrick and Thomas are in this venture, http://sockpuppet.org/blog/2015/03/06/the-hiring-post/ http://sockpuppet.org/blog/2015/03/06/the-hiring-post/ (my all time favorite article by Thomas)
Hope this helps.
- schmichael 10y agoI'm confused as well. The description on their home page that you cite doesn't match the description they provide on the linked : > Starfighter, if you're new here, is a company which makes fun engineering challenges that you can play online for free. I can see how the two things would be related, but it's still confusing brand messaging.
- rargulati 10y agoOut of curiosity, would something like "play games, get hired" convey the message better?
- elliotec 10y agoIt would if that were true, but you're not playing games and getting hired, you're getting your coding ability tested through a gamified vetting platform that will either thumbs up or thumbs down you to the actual company interview, where you'll have to be tested again.
