YC-Funded Interview Street Streamlines The Search For Great Programmers

programmingfeatTalk to any tech company and they'll tell you that hiring quality programmers is an incredibly difficult task "the smaller companies often have a hard time getting in front of the best candidates, and the large and 'hot' companies are inundated with applications, many of them sub par.Interview Street is a new Y Combinator-funded startup that's setting out to fix both of these problems "and to save everyone involved a whole lot of time. The service, which comes out of beta today, makes it easy for tech companies to test applicants' skills using puzzles (and it makes it easy for potential applicants to figure out who's hiring).Head to the site and you'll see that it's broken into two sections: one for 'Challenges', and another for 'Recruit'. The first is catering to engineers looking to land jobs at companies like Dropbox, Facebook, or Airbnb. Sign in and you'll be able to take one of three coding challenges, which you'll complete using a web-based IDE (you can copy and paste your code into the app if you'd like).
