I have heard Google is around 10-15% and Amazon is 20%. Wondering how true this is. Haven't heard a number for other big companies.
Is it low because people just don't come prepared for the coding part?
If the rate is that low, that’s such a waste of time for the people serving on interview panels. Better to improve the phone screen process so you can get a higher pass rate on site. Less wasted time all around.
That's the reason the founder of hackerrank gave for his founding ( I think he came from Amazon).
Under 10% means that if people have to take a day off work to go to the on-site, they might use up their entire paid leave just on interviews. That's crazy. Don't invite people for on-sites if the odds are that low.
My personal onsite interview rate is 100%.
Out of the candidates I phone screened and recommend for on-site much more than 10% were actually hired.
What was your phone screen pass rate? And the onsite-offer conversion rate? "Much more than 10%" could mean 2x, which is still only 20%.
I'm sorry to be vague but I don't want to doxx myself. My phone screen pass ratio as you can imagine is not that high but if I recommend someone to come on-site they have way more than 10% chance.
I've recommended a couple and neither have gotten more than a phone call. Really pisses me off. I know they'd do well here and they've got the skills hut we don't even bother to talk to them it seems.
For our team, we try to keep it at ~50%. We have 2~3 rounds of phone though. For google, our recruiter said it was ~7% when he transferred from Google to Apple
7% seems insanely low, what the hell
God that's a fucking joke if thats true why not just fail everyone on the phone screens sheesh
