I think in 2016 it was one of the biggest themes for YC startups. They've founded a lot of startups in the recruiting field trying to innovate. Problem I see so far is that they don't tackle the actual problem. Automation and online coding tools to "evaluate" candidates aren't real solutions.

Someone has to stop at some point and stand. By that I mean Google, Facebook or any other influential companies. Enough of these stupid technical interviews. No more college like questions, no more stupid puzzles, stupid algorithm questions. We don't like white boarding crap, we don't need it. Last time I wrote a function on a whiteboard I was 12 years old learning how to code. Today I'm in my mid-30's. Slack actually did it, they stopped evaluating candidates like that, but it's a tiny player in the space. As I said we need big players doing the same thing. It all started with Google back in the early 2000 and everyone followed. It is such a mess honestly... a startup itself wouldn't fix it. It has to be fixed by each and everyone out there.
