Yep, yep.
A conversation on relevant subjects helps filtering out people with fake or stuffed resumes in a matter of minutes, assuming the interviewer is a technical person. It also helps understanding if it's someone we can work with as a colleague. If all goes well, we would make an offer, but will make it clear that the 3 month probation period _is_ the actual interview.
Had very good results with this approach, but it doesn't really scale or work for larger projects with aggressive hiring plans.
- DoubleGlazing 9y agoIt can scale when the company starts to let go of the notion that only senior devs and managers can do interviews. I was in a growing company that allowed anyone who had been there six months or more to conduct interviews. It massively increased the speed of recruitment and prevented managers and senior devs being tied up with recruitment stuff.
