if a candidate didnt get through the traditional method (including multiple interviews and code assessments) then maybe they're just not the right fit for that specific job...why prolong the process even further?
- andylee024 7y agoHatchways thesis is that the traditional method (multiple interviews and code assessments) sucks for screening talent. Here's an analogy. The current method is like qualifying for a marathon by having candidates run a 100m sprint. A better method is using a half-marathon as the qualifying test. Great marathon runners will probably pass both the 100m sprint and half-marathon tests. That said, some pretty good runners will fail the 100m sprint but pass the half-marathon test with flying colors. Hatchways is changing the qualifying criteria from 100m sprint to a half-marathon so more people can qualify for the race!

- jaclynmling 7y agoI would guess in most cases candidates can't fully be their authentic self or perform at their best during the interview process, so for me I'm not sure I can boil it down to "fit". Our hope is that we can remove the traditional method so candidates don't need to go through a lengthy process as a whole, and instead get on the job as quickly as possible via one interview!
