#2What was always most interesting to us about starting a recruiting company was seeing what would happen if you treated hiring as a data problem. Partly we've raised more funding for the same reason any startup does, so we can grow faster to get more customers = more revenue = more success, etc. But we're also driven by how the larger the scale we operate at, the faster we can run experiments to answer questions about…
It would be interesting to see stats on new grad engineers by college in a similar way as the very popular hard drive stats from backblaze.
I would like to test my hypothesis that grads from the top 10 cs schools as determined by US News et al. are generally good, but overvalued.

#4Anyone care to comment on how the whole Triplebyte process goes as a person who wants to be hired? I'm interested since I never got past the set of questions due to some kind of bug in the beta.

I was interviewed by them. Best process ever. Easy, straightforward, had options but I wasn't really interested in working for other people anyway. They let me code in ClojureScript for the snake game if memory serves. Also, this was many years ago when they initially started out so I am assuming they only got better.

I did the complete interview (mainly because I wanted to test myself), and I have to say it was extremely pleasant.

So I just tried to signup as an engineer and it says... "Unfortunately we're currently only able to work with people with legal status permitting employment in the US. We hope in the future to help set up visa sponsorships." So looks like it's only for US companies at the moment.

#8$50m in job offers last 6 months at $130,000 average salary, with 70% of job offers being accepted/signed = 267 people got hired in the past 180 days after completing roughly 30,000 interviews (based on the 5000/month quoted in the article).
That means the chances of being hired after doing a TripleByte interview is slightly under 1% if my back of the napkin calculation is accurate.

You made a snake game for an interview? Sounds fun :)

I agree, I was one of their early people (they even met me on a holiday weekend at their offices across from the stadium as that was the only time I could fit in for their "long form" interview). Was best process I've ever been through.
My only critique, is that it seems a bit too front end oriented these days for someone like me who is basically a deep backend person. They did have long form infrastructure questions, but as I get asked to take their prototype tests every so often, it seems many of the new tests are just front end oriented (i.e. language types). I'm guessing this is because that's where the market has taken them.
