What was the placement rate for the candidates that you put forward? Based on your statements, I would expect this number to be very high, but from my understanding of the industry, including recruitment companies that do technical assessments, I would be surprised if it was that high.

Sorry, but I won’t / can’t answer that.

TripleBytes' placement rate was 40% in 2018 [https://techcrunch.com/2018/02/28/triplebyte-has-raised-more...]

I'm not sure how to reconcile a recruiting company well-known for doing rigorous technical screening having a 40% placement rate, most candidates being a clear yes or a clear no, the hiring process being completely fine, and the hiring process not producing many false negatives.

A 40% placement rate implies triplebyte has the hiring bar lower than companies want it to be. Ie, even with rigorous screening, they have a high false positive rate. (Well, that assumes candidates are totally ordered by desirability, which is not at all the case).
