Why 95%+ devs are bad ???

Just did a recruitement for a post opf Principal Engeneer with possibuility to be CTO.

375 candidats at first interview.

Only 8 remaining for second phase

Our of 8, only 3 managed to complete a small code test.

Outr of 3, one asked for (I shit you not) 700k$ salary (lolz).

Out of 2 remaining, 1 just decided "I did for lolz to see if I get an offer so I can boost my current work salary",

Leaving us with only 1 candidate...

So fucking time consuming.....

    @jestdotty fizzbuzz was the final round? What was the first round, were you testing for enough intellect to master basic toilet use and if they can spell their names or not die when using scissors?

    These fuckers are lucky. Where are these easy places? I have to fucking leetcode, design twitter, all this other shit people want to hear like how I led a team to develop the next iteration of chat gpt all while disproving relativity for fun in order to get a position as a dev at the mc fuckernuggets toilet cleaning llc and baby diaper mill

    Something is very wrong with your HR process.

    1. use an automated coding test plaform, before any technical interview.
    2. Make sure your HR bot (human? doubt) knows what you are looking for, and filters correctly.

    375 CV they went through, does not mean they were all senior dev CV.

    @jestdotty WTF I have to prove to everyone I interview with that I’m a god from mt Olympus, I had no idea there are places that have “can you code anything” tests as the last step outside maybe interns

    @TeachMeCode interviews are all dumb luck, sadly. Sometimes you just remember or know exactly the thing the interviewer is asking. I’ve never been in an interview where I thought I could pass it literally any day of the year, forever.
    You can of course increase your chances by preparing, but that’s all you do. Increase your luck roll.

    Why the hiring process is broken? Why are people responsible for hiring that can't even master the English language in times of autocompletion and AI?

    @jestdotty Preach. Sometimes, it's just your pedigree.

    This post makes it seem like the company would’ve hired hundreds of devs if they were good

    Is it confirmed that only 3/8 passed the simple test? Or did they just eliminate 5/8 because the goal was to reach 3 final candidates?

    You asking "why 95% of devs are bad" when you didn't even interview that many and have this questionable interview process says a lot more about you/your company then the people who applied for the role.

    You should review your interview process and for a role like this, the salary (assuming it's in the US) doesn't seem that unreasonable (especially for interviees who make close to that much to demand this to jump the ship).

    @Berkmann18 yeah no.

    60% of candidats are like "I was carptner until last month, I took a boot camp in nodejs and now I'm ready to lead full .net team"

    Then you have : "Yeah I'm against using DI, it's way to complex"

    Or : "Why would anyone uses interfaces, like ever ? lol"

    or : "Performance scale can alsways be resolved by money spent on infra"

    Or I have 1000 more examples.

    Theses people, it's useless to send them technical test. You already know they are not a fit.
