That is, instead of spending +X hours per candidate evaluating their unique code, instead the give everyone a +standard test and spend just a few minutes to see if the candidate did their +test correctly. This spreads out the cost ("amortizes") over the candidates such +that the business no longer incurs this cost. + +This makes perfect business sense, to be honest. The goo thing is that it works +both ways: businesses can amortize the cost over candidates, and you (the +candidate) can amortize your cost over all the businesses that you interview +with. Simply save all the interview tests you complete in a single place and +share it with hiring managers when they ask for a code sample. |
