Good candidates do not apply if leetcode is involved; good candidates know they can code and they want to have interviews where they are asked, from a high level perspective, about past projects and the like. On the other hand, bad candidates know they cannot code nor talk about past projects in a decent way, but it’s easier for them to cheat by submitting copied pasted code than to talk about software.
By using leetcode in your interviews you are giving bad candidates an opportunity to apply for a job in your company.
- MathMonkeyMan 5y agoYes, but bad candidates are going to apply anyway. How many depends on the size and visibility of your company. I suspect that for FAANG, leetcode is a much better filter than random (or going by shoe size). And there must be a filter. Also, think about the cost of the time employees (developers) spend interviewing -- let's come up with something quick, standardizable, and programming-related. Leetcode.
