It's not only a big expense. It is a stressful, biased and highly ineffective process. There is very little (if any) correlation between performance in interviews today and work performance.

It's a hard problem that requires people to approach it seriously. And it is only getting worse with a high growth in number of people getting into tech.

It's interesting to try to solve it.
