It's a good thing strict CS degree requirement is dying down. Hopefully we'd reach a time where companies automate how they find a fitting candidate. This is how I envision the system:
* A test on the core technologies, programming languages and paradigms the company uses.
* Test can be taken over a period of time, say 6 months maximum.
* The system is able to recommend questions that really identifies people good at a particular thing.
* The system is able to recommend books and other resources for job applicants.
* As an applicant, starting a test is only a declaration of intent to work at a certain company or related (in terms of core tech, etc) ones.
Maybe there are products like that already or are in the making. It'd be a more useful job application process. Otherwise I'd be happy to join anyone build it.
