I don't disagree with your first point.
The problem is that asking questions like FizzBuzz is also a filter in the other way. Higher quality candidates aren't going to bother answering your filter question and bail out of the process.
I spent several years working on a large tech hiring platform and a thing we noticed again and again is that putting up any filters immediately drove away top tier candidates. They're just not going to jump through hoops when they have so many other options available to them.
Now if you goal is to hire a more average quality candidate, then you can get away with filter questions, coding tests, etc.
- zulban 4y agoI was offered a job that had no filter questions and I declined because of that. They were clearly hiring goofballs into senior positions.
