As Mark Twain famously said, I didn't have time to build a short take-home, so I built you this long one. Your team could absolutely spend time to distill your take-home and reduce admin. Or maybe Woven could handle it.
Take-home tests are great because they give you the chance to “try on” working with a candidate. But there are a few downsides.
Engineering take-homes have high drop-off rates because senior engineers who apply to multiple positions won’t do a bunch of 10-hour tests. They also take lots of engineering team time to score, administer, create, and maintain, which slows down the hiring process and ultimately hurts your offer acceptance rate.
The solution? ⬇️
Engineering is more than Leetcode, which is why your take-home gives good signal. Get similar signal through a combination of Woven scenarios like code review, system debugging, frontend web, and more. Our tight timebox combined with individual engineering feedback on interesting work scenarios is why Woven gets a 85% completion rate. The same as a phone screen.
