It is not obvious for me that a hackathon is actually a good work sample test for professional software development. Reasons orgs would not do it: inertia, high focus cost of expensive employees, scheduling pain, pushback from desirable candidates, Schelling point issues.
That's not obvious to me, either. But it is pretty obviously better than the typical tech interview? I (seem to) interview more effectively than many friends of mine with much stronger technical skills & vastly better portfolios, and this seems dumb
So I can model our why you’d say that is better than typical job interview if you scope the “job to be done” of the job interview as a skills assessment. I think this is fundamentally not the desired output of job interviews as a business process.
I'd assume current level of ability is actually a relatively less important factor than general ability to think/do stuff/talk about it, but I wouldn't guess you'd get a very good picture of any of that by making someone work through shallow toy problems under extreme stress
Could this just be the result of companies selecting for interpersonal skills over technical skills? Hackathons might be more ideal for find rockstars, rather than team players.
Theory: typical tech interviews are better IQ tests than hackathons
