Want to know a great strategy for hiring lemons? Ask only Leetcode-style questions. Don't ask anything relevant to the job. Don't ask about past experiences, architecture, tech-specific questions, or anything like that.
Only. Ask. Leetcode. Questions. If it's not a stupid algorithm disguised as something cute like a dog jumping over a river, then don't ask it.
You will be in the exact situation this article describes: Passing up on good engineers, and not being able to tell if the people you do hire can actually perform on the job.
