If your company takes months to figure out if someone does good work or not then it has some serious problems.
If you have expertise in a field you can normally guess pretty quickly when someone bullshits their way through or actually knows what they’re talking about.
But your hiring staff usually don’t have any or deep enough expertise for the field they’re hiring for, which only gets worse the bigger and more advanced your company gets.
But your employees with which the new hire will be working with should have this expertise (or again your company has a problem). So they will find out pretty quickly if the hire is a fraud or not.
Cheating surely creates costs but not as much as you suggest. And as others have mentioned above it is surely not as widespread as you suggest, limiting the cost further.

- justshowpost 5y agoWell, you’re not forced to straight-up hire the candidate just from Litebulb, right? A score in a report should not be assumed to reflect the entirety of a person, which unfortunately is a common mistake (e.g. school, college or university diploma). You’d most likely want to still sit down and talk with your candidates and evaluate them individually, which you'd have to do anyways if you want too see if they fit your individual company. Litebulb just replaces what would otherwise be stupid LeetCode Q&As or old unmaintained home-rolled coding problems, not the rest of the hiring process. Specifically, Litebulb does not offer “the magic button” to find the perfect hire for your specific company.
