The recruiting game

Our group is constantly hiring people. I see that almost everyday a guy/girl in business attire sits the programming test for four hours in the small conference room (so called the "fish tank"). But it seems that 95% did not pass through.

It may appears normal until RJ complains that it is quite time-consuming. Under the current economy circumstance plus the graduating season, recruiters are as aggressive as the job-seeker themselves; they will send in anyone who looks to have 5% chance and fingers cross. It turns out to be a waste of time for the employer, the recruiter and the applicant.

Designing good screen tests can save a lot of time and human resource in recruiting.
