Using an open source contribution to skip a take home challenge

Adam and I made a list of active open-source projects that need help. If you're asked to create code for an interview process, this feels like it could be better than a take-home.

Project F Talent Partner Pledge

We've always understood the value diversity adds to teams, companies, and the broader community, so we've taken a step further and joined the Project F Program 50/50 Talent Partner Pledge.

“Although I’m not coding on a daily basis, I’ve really enjoyed meeting developers and chatting with them. Having that technical background definitely helps me understand what developers and companies are after. I’ve also spent a lot of time giving people general advice on job searching and resume writing. They really appreciate that.”

Fiona Chan
Lookahead recruiter since 2015
