As a hiring manager at GitLab, I'll tell you that these questions are surprisingly effective in filtering candidates. I'm sorry it feels painful to you, however, it's for good reason.

How would you know? Most of us laugh at a question like that on an application and move on. It's not worth the effort. You have no idea what candidates you never even see because of those ridiculous questions on an applications.

The question is, do they get a consistent stream of high-quality candidates via this process? If they do get enough to saturate the rest of their pipeline, why wouldn't they use a filter like this? I too balk at questions like this, but I think it's very reasonable to imagine it being effective enough for them.

The application form is not letting me attach CV and cover letter:

    $ echo $BROWSER
    /usr/bin/qutebrowser
    $ qutebrowser --version
    qutebrowser v1.10.1
    Git commit:
    Backend: QtWebEngine (Chromium 73.0.3683.105)
    Qt: 5.13.2
    ...
I do not have a file browser apart from bash so an unable to drag and drop. Is the "Attach file" button supposed to open the file-selector? It remains unresponsive when I click it.

Alternatively, is there a way I could directly mail in an application?

I did some background research on this company, looking to see if there's some shady funders. The closest connection appears to be to centrist democratic candidates (some key people worked on Biden/Clintons campaign) - that's fine, I'd expect them to have a political history. Their donations go through actblue ( https://www.turnout2020.us/terms/ ). I also have a few shared connections on linkedin with some people ...…

I agree that the MVC question is a boring one but I kind of like life cycle request one. It’s trivial enough that you can answer it in a couple of minutes and gives a pretty good idea if you have the slightest clue as to what you are talking about. I’ve worked with people who look great on paper, you’d think they were Senior material based on exp, etc. But they couldn’t answer that question even with google.

Can everyone posting please post about their interview process: How many: - technical phone screens - video interviews - projects (esp. length and duration, paid/unpaid, etc) - portfolio / code reviews on past projects - onsite interviews and if there's any whiteboarding/pairing/etc And the total amount of time you expect interviewing to take? Candidates need the ability to compare positions, processes, etc.

"Who is hiring" replies have tighter length restrictions than regular comments. There frequently isn't enough space. Previously, when I posted ads, I did the kind of thing you're suggesting by having a following reply with additional details. I was asked to stop.
