I think you're neglecting to remind folks that Matasano would give people a crypto textbook to study from first.
So if a VB programmer were applying for a React job, you'd say, "here's a React book; we're going to have you code a React component during your interview. Let us know when you're ready to schedule."
- tptacek 10y agoThat's true, but how much credit do I want to give myself for extremely obvious hiring process flourishes? Yes: give candidates study material!
- morgante 10y agoSo how is your process really any better than Google's? They will also tell you exactly what to study and give you reference links + time to study it.
- jholman 10y agoGoogle does not hire with a work-sample test. tptacek's claimed process is therefore easy to distinguish from Google's. Maybe better, maybe worse. Google does allocate non-trivial time on training, though, both on the candidate's time before the interview (as you note), and on paid time after hiring.
