Ask HN: How long does it take to hire a good developer?
In my experience hiring takes a lot of time and effort. I'm curious how companies scale their development teams while keeping enough capacity to develop?

Not sure how reflective that test is, since my perception is already primed by noticing the loading time per sample

That's possible, but then doesn't that limit your candidates pool to people with engineering degrees?
I'm not sure about the couple of years experience, that's sometimes a miss depending on what they built during those years.

That's similar to my current experience. Not to mention, competition from bigger companies is fierce when it comes to good senior devs.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I thought about cutting the process short like you suggested and live with the chances of bad hires but:
1. How do you avoid having a bad effect on the current team when they see churn like that?
2. College results could work for junior hires, but senior ones? Rely on feeling about their previous work experience?

How do you manage a good inflow of talented candidates but in the same time move the process fast?
