We're still new to this, but we have tried a few interviews where we pay the candidate $80 an hour (~$160k salary annualized). On average, good candidates complete the projects in about 3.3 hours, so that's a ~$270 expense to us, which we've been fine with.
Candidates who did the unpaid version saw the clear value: they invest 3-5 hours once, and potentially cut out 20+ hours of first round interviews, or even all the studying like the OP did.
Nobody that we've tested in the beta complained about a few hours of free "work" - they were actually excited about it.
- arenaninja 9y agoI really like that you compensate candidates for their time. I can't think of anyone else who follows that model presently, so thank you for keeping in mind being fair to prospective hires. Are you all SF-only?
- slap_shot 9y agoWe're just in SF/NYC right now, but this model travels well. Hopefully you'll see us a in a lot more places by the end of the year.
- chillydawg 9y agoLondon please. I'll be a customer.
- ropeadopepope 9y agoDo any of those SF/NYC companies hire remote employees?
