Caliper: Hire the Best in Artificial Intelligence

Hi everyone,

I am Deshraj, a co-founder at Caliper, a platform for recruiting AI talent.

As ML/AI roles grow, we need scalable ways to test candidates' practical ML skills at the screening stage (before they come for an onsite interview).

This exists for testing CS algorithms/data structures in the usual coding interviews, but performance on those isn't necessarily correlated with practical ML / AI skills.

It would be nice if recruiters or hiring managers could create a challenge around some (say toy) data, invite candidates to participate in the challenge, see how they compare on a leaderboard, look at their code if they'd like, and then decide if they'd like to interview (and eventually hire!) the candidates.

Caliper provides exactly this. Would this be of interest?

As someone who's had a lot of trouble finding data science jobs/internships, I think a product like this would help a lot! However, I don't know the challenges of getting companies/hiring managers on such a platform would be, and I suspect that might be your main difficulty.
