A code screening doesn't need to measure communication. It only needs to measure basic coding ability. You can either write fizzbuzz in a reasonable amount of time or you can't.
There will be plenty of opportunities to evaluate communication during the other stages of the interview.
- stuaxo 9y agoFuck it, don't bother with any job that uses these things. It's lazy on behalf on the employers.
- analognoise 9y agoI'd agree with you, but you have to interview probably 400/500 people, all with passable resumes, just to find basic competence (let alone the skills you might really need). What if you're talking about interviewing thousands of people, a number of which are passable on paper? It's a search problem, not laziness.
- user5994461 9y agoIt's not lazy and it's great for employees too. When I change jobs, I can't schedule bazillions of 1h phone screening on top on my work time at my current company, only for the interviewer to not show up or realize they don't really have a position available. I'd rather have a one hour test from home, whenever I want.
