HR has a huge problem with the process of evaluation of highly specialized positions. And time management is another issue related to performance of those individuals.

In fact, I know a number of top tier data scientists who have never participated in Kaggle because they’re way too busy being outstanding data scientists in their day jobs. So it’s kind of short-sighted to restrict a pool of candidates in this manner.
