Tbh the way that hiring is done in tech is just lazy and reeks of mediocrity. Memorizing 'take home' assignments, banks of algorithms, pair coding, white board interviews, what a joke. Companies want to place all the burden on candidates and spend as little money as possible. It doesn't matter if they waste people's time. Whatever happened to getting to know a candidates work? How about look into the work that a person has done and take the time to understand where a person's skills are. The problem with tech hiring is we have people trying to cut corners. So-called 'non-technical' recruiters doing interviews with a checklist, companies that treat people like hoop-jumping monkeys, and generally f*king idiots that won't do their job (they get paid for it, why again? They're not actually doing their job.) Hiring is not a complex problem. The problem is literally incompetent people doing hiring.
