I am wildly suspicious of this data. How could it possibly be audited? The presenter of the data has obvious ulterior motives to make something up where the data is inadequate or flat out lie to support their business.
The hook got them in here (that's not a dev test, that's a dev test), so well played. But shouldn't we just dismiss all of this as yet more BS until they can show otherwise. It's far, far too clean.
- yoz-y 6y agoI think their motive is to create buzz for their platform. You have a clickbaity article that will put people against each other, people will share it with snark remarks on reddit and so on. Not much reason to lie on the data though, it could very well be just pulled from some internal dashboard for less work.
- Bootvis 6y agoMe as well, if I understand this too 5 list per country lots of Dutch companies are hiring from Kenya. I’ve been to meetups, I’m on LinkedIn and I’ve never seen anyone from Kenya. I’ve seen a lot of people from all over Europe and India.
- strogonoff 6y ago> 94% of developers finished the coding test sent to them for recruitment purposes, up from 93% last year. This shows that candidates who are sent a relevant, stack-specific coding test are taking them more seriously than ever before. This could also say that they are now choosing to send tests to more desperate candidates than before. Either way, I see no way for stats like this to not suffer from selection bias, and after scanning the article I wouldn’t take the numbers too seriously.
