This process is also pretty much guaranteed never to yield mid-career geniuses at the height of their powers. Those candidates don't go looking for work at all. Work comes looking for them. Why would they go on _any_ jobs platform, ever? Effective filtering of the candidates who actually engage with the platform can, at best, accurately identify the next tier down: effective engineers in mid- and late-career, and inexperienced whiz kids. Not that this is a bad thing; that first category makes the world go 'round.

> Those candidates don't go looking for work at all. Work comes looking for them. Why would they go on _any_ jobs platform, ever? Because I don't know what’s out there, or who will give me the best offer. If you’re skilled and in the middle of your career, it’s easy to find a job, but if your options are wide open, a matchmaking service like this with a wide pool of companies is very valuable.
