I worked at Triplebyte several years ago (but way before any of these changes were being discussed - this blog post is the first I'm hearing of them). I'm an engineer, but I spent a lot of time with the account management team talking to companies. And the biggest thing I remember is how much those companies pushed back on our "rules". They were all eager to talk to the top .1% of candidates, but otherwise just seemed to want an unfiltered firehose of resumes.

So while in theory I like the idea of this meritocratic minimum bar granting special privileges (I liked it enough to join Triplebyte!), in practice we seemed to be fighting an uphill battle with all but a few candidates each month.

On the other hand, I have wasted a lot of time in conversations with recruiters only to be let down at the end by mismatched expectations. I'm interested to see if this new approach can make a meaningful difference in that problem.
