The recruiter misunderstood the answers and or he is not qualified to ask those questions. Usually when you ask someone something that is not literal as in "what is 1+1?"
You can't expect them to be literal.
Questions like: Why Quicksort is the best sorting method?
Guy gave very good answer showing that he has perspective and he is able to make a valid argument.
The recruiter on the other hand just read the paper and completely disregarded the fact that the person he is trying to recruit is a valid candidate.
Also at the end the recruiters attitude aweful. Like what is that, he was reading answers from a paper, couldn't make valid arguments back to the candidate and at the end turns and says to the candidate "sorry my paper says you don't know this and that, and goodbye?"
- Klockan 10y agoNo, I meant that the interviewee misunderstood the questions/answers given by the recruiter and thus misrepresented them when he wrote the blogpost. Since he couldn't even get the questions right I highly doubt that he gave a correct representation of the recruiters attitude as well.
- silentmars 10y agoWhich of the following seems more likely? A recruiter who was already giving the guy the wrong interview, and whose job revolves essentially around HR and sales, made mistakes in asking a series of technical questions. An expert with decades of relevant technical experience misunderstands and confuses basic networking and system topics.
- Klockan 10y agoWhich of the following seems more likely? A person fails to read a question verbatim. A person who has been the "smartest person in the room" for decades has an inflated view of his fluency on a topic and makes mistakes in his favor when he tries to reconstruct the questions from memory.
