| As a hiring manager here's my concerns/issues with the current process of hiring/using a recruiter - recruiters don't screen well enough technically or personality wise - recruiters tend to lie about everything (candidate availability, salary requirements, etc) - recruiters are hellaciously expensive - you still have to do the full process for everyone that needs to be interviewed (regardless of source. Skipping steps has always resulted in a bad hire in my experience) - resumes/profiles suck for determining coding ability. Sparsely filled github accounts and pet projects are far better indicators As a person being hired here's my issues: - recruiters lie (about opportunities, salary, etc). Notice a trend here? - companies are cagey about salary. I'd rather know up front rather than waste everyone's time. - lack of exposure to the team during the hiring process. Since I'll be spending more time with them than my family I want them to be people I like rather than neckbeards that aren't personable. |
We are the same team behind https://remoteinterview.io. We encourage employers to screen on the basis of technical skills instead of resumes.

We are planning to implement rating system for employers by candidates.

That's what TryCatch.cc is trying to solve.

Very valid point. It should be solved.
