I would like to speak to this after interviewing at a few places recently, including Google. I don’t think a single interviewer looked at my resume. I’ve developed a sizable open source project that is used by real people for over a decade. If the company really wanted to know if I could write code they could just go and look at it. Instead they ask puzzle questions that I have no interest in and end up failing. These companies expect the candidate to spend weeks preparing for their hoop jumping, but can’t be bothered to actually read the CV. Multiple people didn’t seem to realize where I lived even when my address was at the top of the paper.
