👻 Happy Halloween from the Byteboard team! 🎃 No tricks here—just a friendly (or maybe a bit spooky 👀) reminder that technical assessments don’t have to be so scary! With Byteboard, the process is less daunting and built to bring out the best in every candidate. Wishing everyone a frightfully fun and safe Halloween! 🎉

Got this note from a candidate 💜 . I loved the last line. So often when I failed my technical interviews, I would walk away annoyed that I forgotten to memorize an algorithm or "the trick" vs having any relevant feedback on my ability to do the job.

Had a blast chatting with Anders Sundquist about the evolving talent landscape in the #AI industry, Hebbia's role in the ecosystem, strategies for attracting and assessing top #talent, and the pivots made to continue to deliver a best in class candidate experience. Thanks for the opportunity, Anders! Shoutouts to Byteboard, The Swarm 🔆, Metaview, and Juicebox (YC S22) for building fantastic products we're proud to have in our talent toolkit. 🧰 Quick plug: We're #hiring GTM Recruiters, People Ops Specialists, and Talent Coordinators! Oh, and Engineers, Designers, Enterprise AE's, PM's, DevOps, Engagement Managers, RevOps, etc. etc. etc. 😅 🚀 oh and did I mention #RECRUITERS?? ~:) check out our openings here: https://lnkd.in/effARJpP

👉 ICYMI: Last week, Byteboard posted some key findings from our quarterly review of assessment data and the results reaffirmed our founding mission: Providing every candidate with a fair platform to showcase their abilities, regardless of their background. Our latest data reaffirms Byteboard’s success in meeting—and frequently exceeding—the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s "four-fifths rule" for fairness, which calls for a ratio of 0.8 or higher across groups to demonstrate an unbiased and equitable process for all. We’re proud of these results and look forward to continuing to make a difference in technical hiring!

Happy Friday! 🎉 At Byteboard, we’re proud to have conducted over 28,000 technical assessments since our founding, helping companies find the right technical talent. With assessments across 9 domains and support for 20+ programming languages, we've built a platform that’s as versatile as the teams we serve. But what we’re most proud of? The feedback from candidates who appreciate how our assessments go beyond typical Leetcode-style questions to reflect real-world challenges. At Byteboard, we believe better assessments lead to better hires—and ultimately, stronger teams.
