The Future of Technical Hiring: Why Code Beats Resumes

The traditional hiring process is fundamentally flawed. Resumes tell you where someone worked, not how they work. Interviews test performance anxiety more than actual skills. It's time for a change. ## The Resume Problem A polished resume doesn't write code. Years of experience doesn't guarantee problem-solving ability. Prestigious company names don't ensure culture fit. We need to see developers in action. ## Why Practical Challenges Work When developers solve real problems, you see their true capabilities: How they approach unknowns, their code quality under pressure, their ability to deliver working solutions, and their communication through documentation. ## The BuildRace Approach We've created a platform where developers prove their skills by building real products. Companies get to evaluate actual work output, not just credentials. It's transparent, fair, and effective. ## The Results Speak Companies using BuildRace report 73% better hire quality and 60% reduction in time-to-hire. Developers love it because they can let their skills speak for themselves.
