The statement, "an applicant must “hack” into our backend to drop their resume. As a result, we don’t get distracted by unqualified candidates" is interesting.

The statement, "an applicant must “hack” into our backend to drop their resume. As a result, we don’t get distracted by unqualified candidates" is interesting.
In particular, equating those who don't have web site hacking skills with "unqualified candidates" is quixotical given this is a position for a site for purchasing concert and arena tickets, and is not work circumventing site security.
- barry-cotter 15y agoI imagine that the "security" is pretty toothless, but entirely adequate to keep out cargo cult programmers or others without abstract knowledge of web technologies and a problem solving mindset. It's less a security test than an autmated version of Fizzbuzz that good candidates are less likely to find insulting.
