This is a very interesting approach, I’ve seen some competitors who do this in the learning/course space as well. I’ve also done a lot of interviews from both sides of the table.

My question is around the grading examples. How do you automatically determine Functionality is Senior - Weak or Commit History is Intermediate - Strong?

I find these to be quite subjective and better understood as a whole for any given candidate. The grading mechanism provides a false sense of being unbiased, and further dehumanizes the process.

I fully disagree with this for hiring, unless you’re looking for machines, not humans. Measuring things automatically does not result in purity of bias.
