Never heard of Triplebyte, so I looked into them. According to their candidate FAQ:
"We save you time. ... Most candidates save hours that otherwise would be spent on phone screens. We turn an O(n) process into an O(1) process."
The phone screen is where I can screen the companies, so this system will not work in my case. I reject more companies before getting to any actual interviewing when it is clear our shared goals are not being met. Most companies just want a warm body, whereas I am very specific in what I want.
- Harj 10y agoWe save you the time of repeated technical phone screens across companies. Companies will do a pitch call with our candidates as the first step, where they pitch themselves to you and after that you decide if you'd like to move forward with them.
- donretag 10y agoPerhaps the pitch call is done differently via Triplebyte, but for the most part, the initial non-interviewing phone call is with someone in HR or with little technical knowledge. Most questions are answered with "oh, let me find out and get back to you". I want the phone screen.
- dunkelheit 10y ago> The phone screen is where I can screen the companies Fair enough but remember that you may be screening not the company itself but some frazzled engineer who curses herself for agreeing to perform 4-th phone screen a week instead of insisting on writing code. Your impression of the company may be misleading.
- cheriot 10y agoThat's also exactly who will tell me how the company works without the sugarcoating HR and managers put on it. I don't want sugarplums and rainbows, I want an effective engineering organization :)
