companies can keep a list of universities and decide to only screen those who do not have a degree from those universities. the list can be dynamically changed based on on the job feedback.

any university in western europe is pretty hard to graduate at without actually having these skills. so it is pointless to enforce coding interviews for those who graduated there. you can’t “buy” a degree there.



If you do that, you will be recruiting talent that is not necessarily good at programming and you will be excluding talent with exceptional programming skills.

If you build software that sounds like a bad idea.

The most valuable companies in the world all converged into the same recruiting processes for a reason.
