Agile vs Waterfall Employee Recruitment
Hi IHers and Happy Monday!
When we write software, we iterate fast with Continuous Deployment and ship our software in an agile fashion, but when it comes to hiring, we have a waterfall approach.
I've talked to a lot of you about recruiting, something I've done many times, and I've decided to write about a concept I've fostered over the years:

I would love to hear your thoughts!
Also, please help me decide what to write about next (5-second survey):

I’m not really sure how this is agile, there’s so many steps and so much work involved. You’ve essentially just swapped interviews for assignments.
You should show a cost comparison between your method and the traditional way.
Do you have an example of the success you’ve had ?
You don’t mention anything that could potentially go wrong with your process.
