I haven't been in hiring for awhile now (I contract freelance), but I never really focused on interview tests. Before I'd get a candidate to come in I asked them to send me to a Github repo or some code they were particularly proud of writing. I could tell a lot from reviewing that code than I could by watching them fumble through ridiculous whiteboard tests.
I felt it was much more important to find out who the person was and if they would fit into the team. Any good FE developer can learn your process or code the way your team codes. Perhaps this process only worked for the small 30 or so person businesses I was working for, but I never had a bad hire so I think that must count for something.
I love this, and, as a potential candidate I'd apply to this company only because of the interview style. Yeah, I do random stuff sometimes (that's how I got my first job)
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
