What is Hiring Without Whiteboards?
Hiring Without Whiteboards is an open-source directory that lists companies and teams which do not use traditional 'whiteboard' interviews—metaphorically referring to computer science trivia and algorithmic puzzles—in their hiring processes. It helps job seekers find employers that assess candidates through practical, work-relevant methods like pairing exercises, take-home projects, and real-world problem discussions.
Software developers, engineers, and tech job seekers who want to avoid companies with stressful, trivia-based interview processes and instead find employers with more realistic and respectful hiring practices.
It provides a transparent, community-vetted resource that saves job seekers time by filtering out companies with broken hiring processes, promoting a shift toward more equitable and effective interview techniques in the tech industry.
