Hiring IS in fact broken, dude. Did you read his whole piece? Its not just pulling questions off of hacker rank or writing full data structure implementation from scratch at a white board while being time or whatever. The author also mentions the culture of unprofessional recruiters and interviewers who show no interest in the candidate or selling him on the job(yes It&#x27;s a two way street.) If someone takes time out of their day to talk to you or come to your office, you owe them a little professional courtesy and respect. I think lots of these companies have no idea how poorly some people are representing them and their company during the interview&#x2F;recruiting process. And these aren&#x27;t just early stage startups that might not know any better, many of these are Twitters, Netflex et al as well. So yeah its broken.<p>How do you know his skills aren&#x27;t useful to the market? That seems like a terrible thing to say.
