&gt;when I can simply go do as many traditional interviews as I want, with the top 10 companies in my field (that are also not using starfighters.io), get multiple job offers that I can use for leverage&#x2F;negotiation<p>But I bet many of the engineers you know hate collecting offers they aren&#x27;t necessarily interested in, just to accumulate leverage (and honestly, to derisk the hire, create FOMO - &quot;X has a competing offer from Y; I can see all the cracks in our hiring process, but I bet Y&#x27;s is awesome!&quot;).<p>That takes precious energy. There&#x27;s randomness in each interview.  And lots of people hate current interviewing fashions (read any thread on the topic here).
But engineers often love doing games &amp; coding puzzles for fun - which proxy well to dimensions of technical aptitude.<p>Imagine this world:
&quot;As a software engineer, why would I even consider wasting my time with your technical screening process, when I can simply get as many role-fit discussions as I want, with the top 10 companies in my field (that are of course using starfighters.io), with my high score record that I can use for leverage&#x2F;negotiation, without your boring programming-fundamentals interview wasting my days off?&quot;<p>Can Starfighter execute on this?  Probably too early to tell, looks hard to get started.
But can you see the potential?  I think I can.
