OK. Problem #1 "Your solution should be in Javascript and CSS"
Smart people don't play monkey games. If you want a monkey at the very least be honest about it. If you want a rockstar you better have a damn good reason for them to come to your company rather than just start their own. Playing monkey games to see if your possible new team rockstar is good at reading minds through osmosis is the first reason they won't even look at you. Better stick to brogrammers, however I doubt you even see many of them.
- birken 14y agoI would say we have a lot of evidence that great candidates enjoyed doing our challenges, but certainly it isn't for everybody. You are free to not do the challenges. As for your secondary point about the quality of our team, I encourage you to read our engineering blog (http://www.thumbtack.com/engineering/ http://www.thumbtack.com/engineering/) and look at some of our open source contributions (https://github.com/thumbtack https://github.com/thumbtack). I think you will find more than enough material there to see what our engineering team is all about.
