Strong Towns' Hiring Process

3 pointsby mlinksva6 yıl önce1 comments

Strong Towns is frequently discussed on HN, but submitting this because their hiring process seems interesting: 1) answer questionnaire 2) if selected, answer another questionnaire 3) if selected, interview 4) if selected, offer; no name/id/cv until end.

Do any tech companies use a similar process? Does it have a name?

You bring up an interesting hiring process. I have not considered giving it emphasis. From what I've compiled so far, I have found that thoughtbot also anonymizes applications. They still accept a resume, but they redact things like names, school information, pronouns. Basically anything that would distinguish a person unfairly.

They also have a more in-depth application than usual tech companies. I've compiled their interview process here[0].

I will be monitoring this thread to see what other companies are there and may add a new filter. If you're looking for different hiring practices, I hope [0] could serve as a good resource.
