> all companies think the same whenever they design the hoops their candidates have to jump through

Stop making hoops. Like what part of tech hiring do you really think you’ve innovated on enough to justify making new hoops?

Hell, you’d think with AI and everyone’s digital footprint you’d be able to reduce the number of hoops.

Where do you see ME making the hoops or defending the hoops?

But every company has their own version of hoops that you need to get that job. Nobody is forcing you though. You can just avoid the companies who's hoops you don't like.

What part of that I just said is false?

Sorry, I’m speaking positively. You accurately describe the status quo. I’m speaking about how I’d like it to be.

Yes i'm glad it finally sinks in.

>I’m speaking about how I’d like it to be.

So when are you hiring so we can all enjoy working in a workers' utopia?

		> when are you hiring so we can all enjoy working in a workers' utopia? I generally never am. I believe strongly in paying a large premium to market for quality and then letting smart people be smart. I’m also perfectly comfortable hiring on gut feeling and references alone without a whole song and dance—I’ve only once had someone ghost their background check once and had to fire someone after a fuckup of a hire once more. As a result, turnover is low and vacancies short to the point of non existence.
