>The companies have to have some sort of filtering mechanism
There's no one to hold companies accountable for having a unjustifiably high or low filter. And frankly I don't think anyone outside of CS has gotten those filters right any more than CS has. An incorrect filter turns into "Well, there's no one qualified to work for us" or "Well, all of these candidates failed to do the job" which leads to incorrect assumptions about the labor pool, which is what's going to bias your hiring decisions.
There are companies out there hiring for A+ students that would be just as well off with a C or D average student because what the company is doing day-to-day is too far from what university was like.
- poikniok 9y agoWell this is why a free market is great, if you think all these companies are doing things wrong, start your own and outcompete them.

- noobermin 9y agoPoiknoik quite literally used the "bootstrap" argument in a non-ironic way to describe an actually real systemic problem .
- arjie 9y agoDo you actually need millions for a software consultancy? You're hiring people who wouldn't be employed elsewhere. You could pay them less and cut prices to your clients and everyone would come out better. I mean you've spotted what you claim is a clear inefficiency. Your guys could be taking the jobs that Infosys and gang are taking.
- FLUX-YOU 9y ago>Do you actually need millions for a software consultancy? Yeah, I'd need millions to be convinced to do something I absolutely don't want to be doing.
- Bakary 9y agoIn that case even with millions you would hit a roadblock. Even the prospect of a huge reward doesn't always cure burnout.

- Clubber 9y agoYou are assuming the companies care enough. Their current strategy is petition the government to open offshoring quotas. That's much easier and cheaper than actually figuring something out.
