Anonymous interview eval of strong software engineering candidate

Hacker News

We had a similar post here a couple months ago looking for feedback (which we received and took, thanks HN!), and the candidates ended up with opportunities with great companies through it, so thought would try again! For context: We are a recruiting startup with a twist. We represent engineering candidates who receive a recommendation through our personalized vetting process, which includes a technical interview with an unbiased third-party senior engineer. We match the candidates with interviewers based on their background and the roles they are looking for. We pay for the senior engineer's time to interview so that the feedback is completely unbiased. These interviews are unique in that they are not set up to test if a candidate is a fit for a pre-set role, but instead they are personalized to extract each candidate's strengths and the roles in which they'd excel. The senior engineers who interview for us have collectively interviewed 1000s of candidates and have built and led engineering teams at top tier startups and bigger companies (e.g., Google, Facebook, Uber, etc.). Here is the eval of a recent candidate Candidate1: https://goo.gl/KXYcsf Does the feedback give you a good sense of the candidate's strengths and the environments they'll do well in? - Would this save time in your evaluation process because the candidate has already been recommended after a technical interview? - Do you want to interview this candidate for your own team? Why or why not? If interested in these candidates or other vetted candidates with full evaluations and interviewer identity, please feel free to reach out to ngptprad@gmail.com
