interviewing.io, hackerrank, triplebyte are all trying.
However, afaik none of them have even broached the personality aspect, which is imo is their biggest failing and quite solvable.
Imo triplebyte/interviewing.io don't have any special objectivity, but are trying to reduce the number of interviews and barriers-to-entry.
Also none of these platforms seems to have any critical mass, or made too much progress toward a critical mass recently (afiak).
- itsdrewmiller 6y agoTriplebyte has done some personality work around, like, "are you product-oriented or enterprise-y". I'm not sure if that is what you mean by personality. I agree I haven't seen anything from anyone that will test candidates for "hey you might be too much of an asshole to get a job" or companies for how tolerant they are of assholes.
- zug_zug 6y agoWell sure "asshole" is one important signal. One example that comes to mind is I have some outstanding coworkers who seem to just care/try 2-3x as hard as others. The value difference is huge but it's not a strictly technical skill.
