How would you feel about there being some sort of standardized credential certification, similar to a BAR or trade skill licensing, that proved a candidates technical chops ahead of time? Do you think this would help reduce the number of candidates that gets turned down during the initial screen?
It seems to me like if there was some standard of proving technical skills, both parties could save a ton of time and go back to regular culture-fit style interviews.
Of course, for the highest paying/most demanding jobs interviews would have to be tailored - but I don't really see why junior/mid level roles need interviews that last 4-8 hours on site plus any pre-on-site screening that needs to happen.
