Somebody should almost build a toy startup around that random process eg Chatroulette for hiring. that might make sense.
- wongarsu 7y agoHowever you would either need a great process for quickly terminating bad hires or keep this strategy very secret. Otherwise word spreads and your hiring pool quickly turns from "random" to "every freeloader in the industry".
- atupis 7y agoYeah, you would probably add some weighted sampling to it eg overweight those candidates who have lots of Github contributions.
