That's bullshit. When I was hiring I needed a Skype/Phone call, and 1 hour of on-site or just another more technical call/interview (1-2 hours max if it goes really well). Hired 3 great folks and 1 that decided it's not a job for him, because he found it boring after all.
I never take the "a couple hours long assignments" because the scope is never "a couple hours", once company wanted me to build a chat service that would take at least 20 hours of work to get properly done with testing, etc.
- FireBeyond 9y agoAbsolutely. I'm talking one that I recall that asked for parsing Apache logs from a stream, displaying moving averages for most popular URLs, aggregates of visitor counts, having high water mark "alerts" for ingress traffic and monitoring rolling averages to "de-alert" when traffic dropped below that, including of course unit tests and documentation... One, that's more than a couple of hours. And two, that sounds awfully like something you're planning to use, whether I'm hired or not...
- azinman2 9y agoNot everyone performs well in a technical call, especially since the questions rarely correlate with the daily job / workflow. Sounds like you found people who did.
