Hiring-without-whiteboards is a curated list of companies and teams that avoid traditional "whiteboard" interviews, instead focusing on realistic and practical evaluation methods. In this context, "whiteboards" symbolizes outdated or unhelpful computer science trivia questions often criticized in technical interviews. The project highlights organizations that emphasize interviewing techniques more aligned with actual day-to-day work, such as collaborative problem-solving, pair programming, or take-home assignments. It encourages a shift away from brainteasers, riddles, or puzzle-based interviews, which can create unnecessary barriers for candidates. The repository not only provides a resource for job seekers looking for fairer interview processes but also offers guidance for companies seeking to improve their hiring practices. With community contributions, it continues to grow as a reference for employers and applicants who value practical, respectful, & effective technical evaluation.
