The only way to test actual work is to do actual work, should be obvious but here we are.

It is obvious, but it’s also very time-consuming. You can’t solve ambiguous open ended problems in a set amount of time while being watched closely.

  • I'm not talking about being watched closely, I'm talking about regular work and then making a decision. You have to leave people space to do their thing if you want to see what they're capable of.

    • Sure, that would be even better. But how would that even look?

      In the best case applicants needs to apply multiple companies. Companies need to interview multiple applicants and have a way to compare those applicants.

      Those are the most basic constraints I can think of. How do you make that cost tens of hours for each round?
