Isn't a much better use of VC money than all the ads -- or platforms like Hired, Angelist A-list, etc -- to just, you know, pay candidates directly? What's you

Isn't a much better use of VC money than all the ads -- or platforms like Hired, Angelist A-list, etc -- to just, you know, pay candidates directly? What's your cost for a recruiter to get a new candidate? 10% of first year salary of 120K is $12,000.
P.S - whiteboard interviews are also terrible and unpaid.
P.P.S. - "platforms" that whiteboard- e.g. Hired, A-list, etc - are also unpaid and terrible, at scale.
P.P.P.S. I'm not sure what the solution is but I know it has something to do with actually getting to know the PEOPLE you are interviewing. We're all individuals with unique histories. Pay me for an hour or two to tell you my story and you might be surprised at what you learn.
- pokku 7y agoThere are some solutions out there for people that do not want to do whiteboard algorithms or take home projects. There are interview processes like codebase-projects [0] which you contribute to a company repository. Most companies pay you for the day. There definitely seems to be something wrong, in that a lot of companies don't bother at all in getting to know you. But there are a few out there that do make interviewing a two-way street, and make you feel like you aren't wasting your time.
