While I can totally understand the need for this by hiring managers who need to get people onboard without wasting too much time, I am a little bit skeptical of being reduced to a simple number in some sort of a machine learning algorithm. Especially if this algorithm is then being used by half the companies in my area. I think hiring is a difficult process because we need to work with others and people are different in general. I have personally worked with people who started programming just because they were interested in it - they had no knowledge of algorithmic complexity but they were very open-minded, had a great perspective on the domain and were a pleasure to work with. This is very anecdotal of course but I sincerely hope that they would have been able to make it past the online quiz... (If you're thinking they should be smart enough to be able to game the quiz, then my question would be - why not just screen everyone in person then? Of course, that's not scalable and not worth the 50 million then...)
