Ask HN: Who is hiring? (January 2015)

It's a good thing strict CS degree requirement is dying down. Hopefully we'd reach a time where companies automate how they find a fitting candidate. This is how I envision the system:

* A test on the core technologies, programming languages and paradigms the company uses.

* Test can be taken over a period of time, say 6 months maximum.

* The system is able to recommend questions that really identifies people good at a particular thing.

* The system is able to recommend books and other resources for job applicants.

* As an applicant, starting a test is only a declaration of intent to work at a certain company or related (in terms of core tech, etc) ones.

Maybe there are products like that already or are in the making. It'd be a more useful job application process. Otherwise I'd be happy to join anyone build it.
