Reading the title, i genuinely thought we were turning the tables on recruiters and having them complete some tests for us developers so we can assess if they know what they're talking about or not. I got excited for a second.

Having watched the video it looks like the expectation is that the recruiters would define tests. I've worked with a lot of recruiters and very few would be able to write a coding test well. Also, it doesn't look like the recruiter has any opportunity to check that their test is correct, and there's no way for the candidate to test their solution works, so if there's any issue with the way the test has been defined (…

I just re-read this. I've got one clarification: checking correctness of questions before creation is not there yet but candidates can check their solutions during the test. Because I'm recruiting the first users, I'm creating questions for them and making sure everything works. Automating this is in the roadmap.

The StackOverflow check is a very good idea. A plagiarism feature is in the roadmap too.

I cannot thank you enough for taking some time to answer the way you did.
