We require this for our hiring. Our applicant tool collects GitHub and dozens of other sites (including HN) into one (long) page. I then A/B candidates side by side sans name and picture (props to HBR for that idea). We then vote on candidates, top rank gets a call and trial gig.
- jpace121 12y agoHow does you system handle people who don't necessarily have large online presences do to other commitments. It seems like if you weed people out largely by what you can find on GitHub and Hacker News, you'd have lots of false negatives.
- edoceo 12y agoThe submissions are not restricted to just the online profile. We have resume data side by side as well has having their submitted materials (code example, portfolio pics). The top comparison is how candidates answer our application questions, The system is only practical for technical positions (code/design). We still have to find HR and Sales/Marketing/Advertising the traditional ways (business networking is our preferred)
- jackweirdy 12y agoI'm reading that as though you only call who comes out on top on paper - is that the case? No interview stage where you talk to all applicants in person before you try someone out?
- edoceo 12y agoYes, only the top rank are called. Only the top rank receive a call or webcam based interview.
