Here's a solution.
Candidates should be paid for their time in the interview process.
- Aurornis 2y agoTried that. Word got out that people could get paid for interviews. Got a lot of people using us for paid interview practice with no intention of joining. Stopped doing that.
- Teever 2y agoWhat would happen if it was mandated by law that all prospective employers do this?
- valicord 2y agoSo one could just go to a different interview every day and get paid for not working?
- Teever 2y agoIt sounds like interviewers would have to change their interview process to account for this. Can you think of some ways that they could innovate the interview process if spurred on my this new constraint?
- valicord 2y agoMost likely find some loophole that lets them keep more or less the same process but doesn't quite reach the legal criteria that require it to be paid.
- Teever 2y agoI bet you could think of a few ways to craft the law to eliminate or mitigate this. Let's hear them.
- valicord 2y agoYeah, right, because real life is full of examples of laws with no loopholes...
- Teever 2y agoDon't let perfect be the enemy of good. Can you think of any laws that have loopholes but we're still better off for their existence?
- valicord 2y agoYou don't seriously expect me to argue your position for you, do you? If you want to convince someone that such a law would be beneficial, feel free to stop sealioning and start making actual arguments.
- Teever 2y agoCan you think of any instances where there are laws that have very little or no loopholes? What separates those laws from the kind of law we're talking about? How are they different? How are they the same?
- sgerenser 2y agoGreat news! Initech has recently rolled out our exclusive Software Developer Practice Interview Platform™. Through this innovative platform, prospective Initech software developers can do a number of practice interviews with real Initech employees, and get graded on their performance. Move up the leaderboard and compete with your friends and colleagues. Please Note: only those with a score of 90% or higher on the Practice Interview Platform will be considered for actual (paid) interviews.
- johnnyanmac 2y agoI'd give it a balance if you ever wanted to try it again - 2 calls with recruiting and whatever technical screen you want. - Take home that is paid X amount - follow up take home review to verify they did it - offer. Big issue I have with take homes is that they love to be the first step, not the middle one. you can probably weed out a lot of candidates and pay only the ones you seriously consider with this approach. Also solves a lot of spec work issues in other industries.
