Professional appraisal network
Imagine a community of professionals where each professional evaluates other professionals that they know what they talk about. | |
As a software engineer to get a job I need to interview and be appraised by software engineers that work at that company.
Sometimes I need to do a take home test. Sometimes I need to whiteboard a solution to an algorithmic problem.
The problem is that skill levels at companies and between individuals
are very different.
What if I could evaluate the skills of people based on their achievements and descriptions of their achievements?
We can learn who knows what they're talking about.

LinkedIn is a social network for professionals. Not an appraisal website. |
|
| |
I want to quiz that a developer knows what they're talking about with a check of their GitHub and rundown of what they've built. |
|

I think this is a great idea. There are skilled professionals who learned their craft on the job, not at college and therefore have no degree. I know many. |

Mostly I know people who have a degree in one thing that went on to do something else, the unrelated degree is just proof that they can get things done. My buddy for instance who got a BS in physics from Stanford (on a full scholarship by the way) and went on to be an incredibly successful video game designer managing at EA and other big players. This would be perfect for that situation. |

"This guy doesn't have a degree, but he's got the top score in the test we gave." The smart company's gonna hire the guy with the top score. [+] |
