That's a terrific JavaScript exercise, and sounds like a lot of fun. My only concern about the process would be the in-person interview. I recently flew from LA to the East coast for an all-day interview session, and the experience was miserable. My flight was delayed for hours, I got into my hotel at 1AM, I was sleep-deprived, jet-lagged, and exhausted for the entire process, and then I had to rush to catch my flight back as soon as I wrapped up. The flights averaged out at 6 hours in each direction, so I spent 12 hours in the air within a 24-hour period. Not fun, but a great way to ensure your candidate is at his/her weakest during the interviews. :)
- kwindla 11y agoOuch. Yeah, that's a really good point about travel being both a big commitment/energy-drain on your end, and a bad travel experience making it really hard to interview well. I have, in the past, flown someone who is coming cross-country out for the weekend, covered the hotel costs for the whole time, done something non-structured on Saturday or Sunday, then done the interview on Monday. And a few times people have brought family members. (We didn't pay for the family travel, I don't think, but I don't remember for sure.)
- cjcenizal 11y agoNice! That's really considerate of you. I'm sure your candidates appreciate the extra time and I bet the Monday conversations are of higher quality, too.
