I wish this also tracked the interview "process".

20 seconds to apply is nice until you then encounter the 10 step interview gauntlet with 5 hours of homework.

Phew, only 5 hours, that's really great. How about a week of 2-3 after-hours work to fit within the time limit, then submitting the PRs and addressing review for each of the 3-4 steps?

That's not an interview that's a job.

Seriously, at that point candidates should ask for a 1099 along with a settled rate.

Except that’s a regular experience I’ve encountered while job hunting this winter. It’s either that or what, don’t apply to a good job that I want? The applicant has no leverage in these situations.
