so how many rounds of interviews do i have to endure under this scheme?
why would a company take the word of biased party ( recruting companies) about the ability of a candidate?
- mikece 8y agoI was contacted by a recruiter friend (yes, programmers and recruiters can be friends) a few years back because they had a client with a very specific need to find .NET devs who had a deep understanding of threading and parallelism. I told them to contact Joe Smith (name changed, obviously) as he knew more about multi-threading and parallelism than any dev I knew and suggest he pre-screen all candidates for the client (and offer to have Joe talk to the client's architect to prove his knowledge). The client was VERY happy with the improved quality of the candidates (the only thing about which they were unhappy is that Joe Smith didn't want to work for them). It's not idle theory... I've seen this work.
