> Being an ahole is something I'd like to see candidates rejected for, but it won't show up in a technical assessment.

I'm not sure that shows up in hours of interviews either...especially when most (all?) of that time is spent on "technical assessment"

It filters out the people whose ego won't let them take the test.

And people who don't think tests are a good start to a relationship between an employee and a company.

And people who are getting better offers at better companies.

You'll never know.

You mean it filters out people with too much self respect to jump through hoops to get a shitty start up job.
