...aaaannd there goes the "faith in humanity"-budget for the day. There can't be many people applying to such job offers, right?

(Also, video-pitch for a job as a backend developer? What's the logic behind that except "let's see through how many hoops they'll jump")

If you require people to jump through hoops for a job, only people who have time to jump through them will apply.

I checked it out the other day, and his whole start-up was based on this 30-second video "magic-pitch" thing, which is why they had it for their own candidates, I guess.

So along the lines of "use our product for your application"? That would make some resemblance of sense...
