I was pretty happy with triplebyte from the hiring side. Slogging through candidates with good looking resumes that couldn’t actually program was expensive for my employer and unpleasant for me. TB took care of that first big cut down.
I guess they didn’t hit product-market fit with candidates. Two sided markets are tough.
- ipaddr 5y agoHow did you determine they couldn't program and what made the resumes look so appealing?
- bradleyjg 5y agoWe had a video conferencing phone screen with a shared coding environment. I gave an easy question. It’s possible that they just couldn’t code with someone watching but the effect was the same. Note that I didn’t have control over the interview process, so I couldn’t switch to a take home or something else. The resumes seemed like they had relevant experience. That’s why I pushed them forward to the tech screen.
- tomrod 5y agoAye, but now they have email addresses for hundreds of thousands of engineers along with a reasonable metric for their capability. That's worthwhile.
