> every company using one of these is actually filtering for desperation Exactly. I have a very good job at a name brand tech company and regularly get reached out to by recruiters. I don’t tolerate BS like information asymmetry, take home tests, AI evaluations, etc. The whole situation kindof reminds me of online dating, the top 10% of people are targeted by the other 90%. I wonder if there is some common phenomenon underlying both online dating and job matching because they are eerily similar. Much like in dating, the answer may be to reject the whole online recruiting system and resort to in person interactions where symmetry is restored. Unfortunately it is possible to live without a romantic partner, but in non-socialized nations it is not possible to live without an income. | ||
