One of the reasons hubs have hublike talent market dynamics is that career histories which trivially pass a resume screen tend to get geographically concentrated. It will be really interesting seeing where that ends up in a few more years.

It's really astounding how little positive signal there is in resumes.

We're working on creating that work sample test future
@woven_teams It's a hard mission, as you know, but it's a model especially suited to remote work. With work simulations, you can find the best fit without that geographic-specific knowledge. -
We call the folks found by your "available to all comers" clause Hidden Gems. They wouldn't have even gotten through the resume screen, but they end up getting the job and thriving. Fully 1/3 of our customers hires are Hidden Gems. Resumes are bad.

What would you focus on in the work sample? I've experienced "here's a small project (~5-15 hrs)" and "show me how you think over 30-40 minutes of live coding". Candidates seem to like the latter, but I wouldn't have gotten my interview without an open invitation to the former.

You nailed the traditional trade-off between gating people earlier (and creating false-negatives) versus minimizing candidate time spent. As the hiring manager, if you have 80-120 hours to spend, you could whittle and hone that 5-15 hour project down to 1-2 hours. Best of both

The job is more than the ability to code though - it is a lot of tribal knowledge. How would your screen for that?
