Think of it this way - perhaps with CSPA one day you’ll take the test once and we’ll be able to kill individualized whiteboardong sessions once and for all. There will always be verification of skill from employers no matter what you’d prefer.

What if you have a bad day and end up performing miserably in this test? Even if you're really good, this one hour can hijack 60 separate chances that you have to prove yourself. This will definitely increase the pressure on the people getting evaluated. What about the fairness of this evaluation? Over a period of time, questions may be published in the public domain and then the scores of candidates are rendered meaningless. How do you assess whether the person truly solved a problem or merely recalled a solution they had read before? Over a period of time, the score will be given too much weightage and we will not be able to get a wholistic picture of the candidate. Ultimately, this is going to end up to be as damaging as automatic resume scanners. Used as a tool to filter good candidates but mainly to reduce the workload of hiring candidates. People find a way to work around these scanners by dumping keywords even if they are not very familiar with certain skills. Similarly, people will find a way to game the new system as well. Whiteboarding sessions, despite being more time consuming, seems to be more effective at what it has been designed to gauge.
