You address them as professionals, and if they're lost as to what you're talking about, they're not professionals.
People can't talk the talk about specifics of industry experience if they haven't walked the walk, and that will become obvious in normal discourse around the matters of job role itself and their related experiences. You can be inquisitive, but starting off with CS101 quizzes is just condescending and wildly irrelevant to the actual position.
- AndreyErmakov 10y agoIndeed the dialogue should go into this direction. Two (or more) people exchanging their experiences to see if they share the same values and can potentially join forces in this case.
- jpttsn 10y agoI don't think so. Hiring is vulnerable to "behavioral" factors: cognitive biases etc. I'm very fearful of being overconfident, trusting hunches etc. I need hard data. When I'm being interviewed, I respect the interviewer for demanding hard data, instead of just checking who talks the talk.
