  • Startups often create slightly better applicant tracking systems to ease hiring.
  • Software job interviews are harder than the job itself due to limited interview time.
  • Interviewers aim to gather maximum information quickly, leading to tough technical tests.
  • Alternatives to traditional interviews include contract-to-hire, homework assignments, pair programming, leveraging networks, and historical interviews.
