It also helps me filter out companies that are either too lazy, or too strict in their procedures, or both, i.e. there is no value in asking the same questions, regardless of candidate’s resume.
As an example, a month or so ago I went through a couple rounds of interviews with this company. I told them forthright that I wasn’t doing any code assessments, and if they wanted to, they could take a look at my GitHub account. They seem willing to consider. Third round comes in and they ask me to write some sorting algorithm, to which I refuse.
Ironically enough, one of my repos does have an implementation of an advanced data structure, so they could as well just take a look at it.
