Ha, no LLM back and forth interview! Just an async test, and the signals are implicit. I do think there's an advantage for candidates - personally I'd rather have the opportunity to prove my skills vs. being auto-denied because I didn't go to a shiny university/etc

I saw some post on reddit about this company [0] that actually did have the LLM back and forth, so ever since then I wondered about cloning it.

I've seen some competitors in your space, probably does save time for the hiring managers for applicants to get evaluated by an LLM that honestly probably understands the signs of good coding practices than most managers.

A shiny university is probably the ultimate distillation of signals though. It's not perfect. No process is. But it's one of the most thorough ones we have. And it's proven its worth in many verticals as a good signal for hiring.
