> We don't care where you went to school or which companies you've worked at. We only care if you can code.
Filtering candidates by pedigree is one of the biggest mistakes companies make, particularly in Silicon Valley, but filtering by coding ability (as measured primarily by online tests) is just as naive.
There are tons of people who can code themselves out of a maze but struggle to ship code that solves real problems and creates real value.
A lot of startups would do better with mediocre engineers who can see the big picture than superb engineers who can't see beyond their monitor.
> Companies should not have to make recruiting a core competency.
This is incredibly flawed, especially for startups. Recruiting is a two-way street. If an early-stage startup can't effectively sell itself to candidates, chances are it won't be able to sell itself to customers, partners, etc.
