Description

Byteboard founders Sargun Kaur and Nikke Hardson-Hurley were working at Google when they recognized a fundamental problem with the way engineers were being hired. They saw a process of obscure algorithms, and those with access to the content could (and usually would) study it for months. They thought engineers should be judged by their ability to code and do the job on a daily basis, so they started a company to create a different kind of engineering job interview.

About

Kaur said the company has designed an interview that the hiring manager gives to candidates to do on their own time in the environment where they are most comfortable working. Kaur said that research has shown that these companies are seeing results with Byteboard’s approach by reducing the time to offer, saving the engineering team hundreds of hours spent in the old-style technical interview and ultimately building more diverse engineering teams. And this kind of leads into kind of why we started Byteboard,” she explained. “Byteboard is a software-based solution that’s actually helping companies replace their pre-on-site technical interviews with a project-based interview that helps them hire faster through a much more positive, streamlined, practical interview process,” Kaur told me.
