I don't think FANG companies are likely early adopters of that. They are all relatively conservative with hiring. Navigating the organization to find an internal champion who's incentives are aligned seems really tough. Internal established recruiting teams seem disincentivized to use a 3rd party certification. Using that might reduce the number/importance of the internal recruiting team.
- sjg007 6y agoThe advantage is that it would reduce total recruitment cost and burden. I mean filtering on a CS degree and school should be enough but apparently it isn't. There are also non-traditional programmers. There's a finite set of reasonable problems so there will be some difficulty in hiding the answers when you have access to Google vs in person. Outside of that, the most important skill is gathering requirements, gathering requirements and gathering requirements. In the startup world this is called finding product market fit. System architecture design and computational thinking are also necessary but I don't think any software engineer can do those well without gathering requirements which is basically about identifying product market fit within your corporation.
