I don’t do coding tests. I talk to the candidate about programming and I only require one interview. I haven’t made a hiring mistake in 6 years.

- closeparen 9y agoUh, this is about automated testing of programs, not interviewing.
- tomelders 9y agoI'm an idiot.
- NotSammyHagar 9y agookay. care to give any other info? Usually when someone says I haven't failed in 'some impressive challenge in a long time' it means your challenge wasn't that impressive. How much interviewing have you done, what were the hard calls you were asked to me, whats your scheme? When I was at google, one of the hardest thing I did was look at the marginal intern review scores and tried to pick out the ones from the big pile whom we should look at again and who should not be looked at. There were all kinds of crazy ass stupid interview questions that in my opinion were not very useful to classify capability.

- 35bge57dtjku 9y agoI'd love to know how you do that, but the answer is always, "I just ask them the right questions and can tell by their answers," which is so vague it's useless.
