This is a nice idea. What would be better I think is industry-standard certifications / exams that prove you can do the job, then they can just verify that you passed the exam.
A computer science degree doesn't prove you can program but an industry standard programmer test does. Then all that is left is the interview itself (to see your personality etc.) but I think although careersmob could do an initial screening, there should be an interview with the team you are going to join to see if you are acceptable.
- fsk 12y agoThe main problem with such a certification is getting everyone to use it, and making sure it's good. If there's one dominant certification, that's subject to abuse almost as bad as the situation now. If there's 10+ certifications and everyone is using a different one, then what's the point of getting the certification? Licensing works with doctors and lawyers and accountants because IT'S ILLEGAL TO DO THE JOB AT ALL without the certification.
