When interviewing its immediately clear who is from IT and who is from HR. If HR outnumbers IT or IT isn't present at all, my interest in the job instantly declines to near zero. I wouldn't want to be on a team with people who can do well in an interview answering pedantic questions but can't perform in practice which is what you will end up with if HR does all the hiring.
- ryandrake 9y agoMaybe I've gotten lucky, but through my career and various bouts of job hunting, I don't think I've ever encountered a company where HR (in most cases a recruiter) did more than a super-basic phone screen. They make the initial contact, find out if I'm actually interested in the job, and then the actual interview is with 1. the hiring manager, 2. his/her peers, and 3. peers of the role I'd be moving to. I've never encountered a situation where someone from HR is asking me technical or behavioral questions. Is this really that common?
- maxxxxx 9y agoThank God it's not very common. But this article seems to encourage HR people to ask this kind of questions.
