Ask HN: Would an SAT style score for LeetCode proficiency help with hiring?
What if there were a company that ran standardized in-person tests where candidates answer a whole bunch of LeetCode style questions then receive a score, similar to SATs.
Then when hiring engineers you can save a lot of time by just looking at their score rather than running them through a LeetCode style technical interview.
The tests would be run every couple months and use fresh questions so no one can just memorize them.
Thoughts? Would this help hiring developers and make the process more efficient?
