I've always thought that if I started my own company, I probably wouldn't even interview people. I'd search specifically for the people I'm interested in, bring them in for a meeting just to make sure they aren't crazy, and then hire immediately. If someone sent me an application wanting to be hired, I would give them a work sample to be completed in one week and hire on the basis of their performance on that.
- qq66 10y agoWhat I'd actually prefer to do is actually pay someone to do real work for the company, like an actually useful task, but there are lot of complications with that. There are costs to "hiring" someone even for a small task (Tax ID number, 1099, etc.) and there are risks about exposing your codebase to interviewees who are not bound by proprietary information agreements and invention assignment agreements.
