12,000 engineers evaluated – Triplebyte

> At our partner companies like Dropbox and Cruise, we're seeing offer rates on our candidates of over 60%. That's more than 2x better than the average they see on their own candidates (the industry average is about 25-30% onsite to offer rate...

This is impressive BUT... still, to some degree offer rate feels like a vanity metric.

I would really like to know acceptance rates, or acceptance + 90 days, perhaps. An offer has to be at the right comp level and seniority level to be interesting. Pooling all offers into one number doesn't paint the whole picture.

[To be clear, I'm a big fan of Triplebyte and don't question its effectiveness... I'd just like to see more of the aggregate data.]

> To put that into context, companies at the size of Airbnb or Dropbox would expect to do technical interviews with approximately 50 engineers a month.

This reminds me of an anecdote from when I graduated undergrad — just looking around the room and seeing how few CS / CEG majors a medium-sized midwest school graduates in a year. It was 100–200 in total. Mind you, that's all graduates, not just the good ones. The talent pool is small.
