> When are recruiters going to realise that just because you can reduce a person to a HackerRank score, that doesn't inform a good hiring decision?
Never. If tech people can't find a way to do it there is no way a non-technical person will be able to. Pretty sure this is why Google has its own recruiters. Your average recruiter has no clue how to grade candidates. For other companies it's probably best to find a way to apply directly.
I recently went through the process and got a job from a direct application. I dealt directly with the tech lead. The process was entirely devoid of BS. We understood each other right from the beginning---perfect clarity. After the little bit of time I spent looking through job ads and dealing with recruiters I am endlessly thankful that I got this job before having had to deal with all that for longer than a couple of weeks. The difference was stark.
