- recruiters don't screen well enough technically or personality wise - resumes/profiles suck for determining coding ability. Sparsely filled github accounts and pet projects are far better indicators

We are the same team behind https://remoteinterview.io. We encourage employers to screen on the basis of technical skills instead of resumes.

- recruiters tend to lie about everything (candidate availability, salary requirements, etc)

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

- companies are cagey about salary. I'd rather know up front rather than waste everyone's time.

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

- 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.

Very valid point. It should be solved.

That Remote Interview looks absolutely brilliant. I firmly believe that the future lies entirely with remote workers and it's simply a matter of the right tools being available. Please keep doing what you're doing!
