I think the #1 issue this is going to encounter is that companies aren't going to trust it enough to hire top players blindly or with only a culture-fit interview, and most top developers aren't going to want to invest in finishing all the Starfighter exercises if it just means they're going to be put through the gauntlet again for each individual company they're put into contact with. (Certainly some top developers will still participate, just for the fun of it, but probably not enough to make it into a really sustainable high-impact business.) I really love the idea, though, and I want to believe that with enough perseverance this issue could be solved. I think it mostly centers around trust. Starfighter just has to establish itself as an extremely reliable recruiting platform.
