Implementing your hiring process with C trivia

Read Original

The author recounts their experience taking two technical hiring quizzes from Toggl. They analyze a backend dev test focused on C pointer trivia, questioning its validity, and a C# developer test with a practical coding challenge. The article critiques the tests' design, time constraints, and scoring mechanisms, arguing they are poor indicators of developer skill and lead to unfair rejections.
