The idea is to go beyond the usual technical screening filters, and measure the fit between candidates and potential teammates. This can help up speed the hiring process and prospective employees to learn about the company beyond the standard corporate talk.
This comment makes me not want to touch the site.
You don’t have to. I am not forcing anyone to go and use it. But it is weird how people go out of their way to post just a random rant on a community for people who want to give and receive feedback.
If the comment was about criticizing something specific about the site (“It looks ugly”, “It didn’t work”, “why are you using login with third-parties”, “some other tool already does it better”, etc) I’d have no problem with it. But I really, really don’t see the point of going around just putting down other people’s efforts while going off merely by their own assumptions and biases.
I don’t think the parent comment was trying to make any negative comments about your site or even rant. I think they were just making an observation about the state of job reqs. Your reply came across as very defensive and a bit hostile, which is going to make me not want to engage or provide helpful feedback.
With that said, I genuinely wish you success.
