I have reviewed two take home programming tasks. for both of them, there was a high correlation between submitting quickly and passing. so I guess if you're down to the wire and spending all your time on the problems then you're not gonna pass anyway.
also they are by far the easiest way to screen people who will fail later. isn't that ideal?
- _throwawayyyyyy 7y agono, doesn't sound ideal to me. you probably don't need a take-home. how much time are you expecting / "giving" candidates to work on these take-home programming tests? it sounds like you're wasting lots of people's time by putting a gap in between your certitude that someone who finishes in X amount of time will be hired and not "fail later", and the Y amount of time total. If you're not going to hire someone beyond the X value, you need to downward adjust your Y until it is the X. Otherwise you're literally wasting people's time. No, that's not ideal. Also: do you pay them for their time?
