Ask HN: When hiring, what are your leetcode completion statistics?

What percentage of candidates refuse the exercises?

What percentage of those that take them pass / fail?



The last time I sent a candidate a leetcode question, they got a 100% plagiarism answer and didn't make a single mistake or error.

Plagiarism in these tools is very easy to detect and I don't find Leetcode puzzles as a indicator for finding 'talent' but just another tool that companies use as a means to filter applicants because they don't know what they are looking for in a candidate.

So I'm afraid that it is useless for me.


NaN, and NaN. We don't ask our interviewees for anything leetcode-related.
