With that said, I just released a free ebook Evidence-Based Hiring to address these concerns and explain how and why automated testing can benefit both candidates and companies. Hint: it is all about creating short questions for a specific skill. I’d love to get your feedback on the book.

Full disclosure: I’m a founder of TestDome, an online testing company. I started TestDome, in part, because the only thing worse than a terrible hiring test is using resumes to screen technical talent.
