In our 2023 tech hiring survey , we found that the number one challenge met by recruiters when hiring developers was to find sufficiently qualified candidates. Indeed, the majority of mis-hires in tech recruiting come down to a lack of technical skills. I can hear you thinking: “Wait, can’t you rely on developers’ resumes?” . Well, no.

As a human resources professional, I’m confident that you’re aware of what screening is. Here’s a quick overview anyway, just to make sure that we’re on the same page. In recruitment , screening comes before the interview phase and aims to efficiently evaluate the suitability of a candidate for a specific job. In tech recruiting , you assess the technical skills, abilities, and knowledge of software developers to narrow down the most suitable candidates for an available technical position. You then add suitable candidates to your shortlist to progress to the interview stage.

As you may have heard from me before , we at CoderPad aren’t afraid of AI and new technologies. These Large Language Models (LLMs) will not replace developers – but rather make them more efficient. And given that, I’m strongly urging companies to embrace these tools to make technical interviewing better. If you are asking, “Why would I use ChatGPT in the developer interview process when ChatGPT can pass every technical interview?” The reality is that it’s not entirely true.

React’s context API finds its usage in large application components required to share data at different nesting levels. For this tiny interview, a JavaScript array containing foods have been provided, use this array to implement a feature that enables the content of the array to be toggled using the React Context API.

But You’ve Got to Get Better at It.](https://coderpad.io/blog/hiring-developers/you-still-need-to-hire-dev-talent-in-a-downturn/) Yes, yes, the economic news is looking… not great. Tech darlings are laying off people at an astounding clip; more than 100K workers have been laid off to date this year (and it’s only mid February)! And there’s been a 63 percent drop in startup funding raised in the final quarter of 2022 compared to the same period a year earlier, according to Crunchbase . And yet (you knew this was coming, right?), 💩 still has to get done.

Often, these packets contain private and confidential data that should only be seen, read, and understood by the sender and the intended recipient. Because of this, there’s a need to protect individual personal data and privacy. Encryption is one such measure that is usually put in place in order to safeguard people’s privacy and the security of their data. However, there is a protocol or mechanism already set up to handle the encryption, hashing, authentication, and decryption of data transmitted over the internet. And that protocol is IPSec , which is a suite of protocols for securing network connections. As a matter of fact, IPSec not only offers confidentiality of data but also ensures the following: [](https://coderpad.io/blog/announcements/codingame-for-work-is-now-coderpad-screen/) [Announcements](https://coderpad.io/blog/announcements/) ### [CodinGame for Work is Now CoderPad Screen](https://coderpad.io/blog/announcements/codingame-for-work-is-now-coderpad-screen/) 🎉 CodinGame is now CoderPad Screen.

This result was revealed during our previous survey of 14,000 tech recruiters and developers. But expressing an openness to doing something is one thing. Actually taking action to accomplish it is another. Many recruiters recognize the limitations of the resume but also can’t envisage another way of recruiting. What are the practical steps to recruit without a resume? And why is it worth making this change?
