Specific recruiting practices : At company L, job applicants must refactor a piece of code and develop a set of user stories and acceptance tests based on an interview with a fictional customer.

The company tests them with a stand-up meeting after one hour and a retrospective after two. This mode of recruiting quickly exposes an applicant’s lack of technical and social skills.
