I'm working on improving how companies screen and hire engineers. My experience over 10 years as an engineer is that Leetcode and whiteboard coding aren't good indicators of future performance of candidates.
I'm building a system that will automatically sin up a github project with a pull-request to review, or an issue to fix. Further test-types are planned but I will launch with these two. No matter the skill level of an IC engineer, they will need to carry out effective code reviews and fix bugs. I think that the PR test will be good for senior candidates while the bug fix test will be good for junior - mid-level engineers.
I have a basic landing page where interested people can sign up to be notified when it's ready: https://devscreen.io/
Let me know what you think! The goal of this is to improve the candidate experience and make better hiring decisions.
Edit: quick thanks to u/dvt for starting this thread. It was a fun read!
