I wonder if there's a market for a trusted headhunter. When they send somebody over they vouch for certain skills at some level, and all you have to interview them for is "culture fit" and other intangibles. (And they're interviewing you, too.)
That "vouch" could take whatever form, including leetcode or whiteboard or just another dev. It would be roughly the same crap as in any other interview. It would probably be a little rougher, in fact, since the whole point is that the company is staking its rep on you, and its rep is its only real value. But at least you'd only have to do it once.

Some companies try to do this, like hired and another one that is always in HN and I forgot the name.
However... they end up just being an extra step, you have to go through them to get in the hiring pipeline of other companies anyways.
