Part 3/8:
One of the critical issues identified was the flawed filtering system utilized by companies when evaluating candidates. The speaker argues that reliance on coding challenges like LeetCode does not accurately assess a candidate's suitability for a role but rather their ability to understand specific problems. The reality is, many candidates are juggling jobs and personal obligations, making it challenging to dedicate significant time to pre-interview preparation. This situation creates inequities between candidates who have more available time to prepare versus those with existing work and life commitments.
