> My goal is to make hiring slow down to a crawl, make it so hard to find anyone that it hurts the company and is forced to change it.

Hmm. I agree 100% on the intersection of practiced and asked as a key indicator for modern tech interviews.

Have you done any estimates of how long it is going to take Facebook to notice your efforts? I looked and they hired 15k people since 2019. Even if you block three a week, you're only a couple percentage points of drag.

Maybe you need to consider collective action?




Yeah I know it's a drop in the bucket but for now it's all I can afford to do. I've talked to my SWE friends (inside & outside FB) and have convinced a few to do the same. Others simply don't care or feel it's disloyal to the company, which is fair enough.


How does performing this effort make you feel?


If Facebook recruiters are using their data, they will just stop adding the parent on interviews for candidates they are excited about.
