I have a data driven job hunting algorithm. Let's see how Sailthru matches up ;)

There's no mention of ever evaluating a candidates github code and contributions. That's a bit like me firing off a resume without tailoring it to the employer, don't you think?

The job posting

https://boards.greenhouse.io/sailthru/jobs/48920?t=awnye3

is extremely generic. There's no indication of what a recruit would actually be doing. It's keyword bingo.

Points are deducted for mentioning foosball. It sounds like brogrammer paradise already.

500 peoples' time is wasted to hire three? About the same odds as a lottery scratch off, but it takes all week and has none of the fun instant gratification.

There's absolutely no mention of salary range. I'm probably earning more than this "compelling and irresistible" offer.

Result: I'd probably self select out of this process.

On the plus side, you do get points for not asking ridiculous questions like "How many golf balls do you think it would take to fill a school bus?"

Disclaimer: Intended as light hearted criticism. I hope you take it as such.
