Six hour test on top of whatever time you spend interviewing. Because you know companies will still have you interview.

Our initial goal is to replace the technical phone screen. We are asking companies to guarantee an interview (or skip the phone screen), if they score above a certain threshold.

Long term, we hope to replace as much of the onsite as possible. But we do acknowledge we can never fully replace it.

May seem like I'm shitting on your product, but I'm not. I do a good amount of hiring[0] and have had to use services that provide similar outcomes[1]. It's mostly a waste of time and am currently working on removing that part of the process. My main issue with your product is that I don't see how it would provide me with a better outcome than what's out there.

I want to like it enough to try it out and pay you, but dont see value proposition right now.

They would have to, since this is a general-knowledge programming test.
