I'm interested in knowing the typical hiring process you go through when looking for work if you don't do any of these. Do you only offer to write code on the spot then to back up your experience?
- edw519 16y agoSimple. Whatever it takes without being uncomfortable about it. Things I will gladly do: - phone interview with as many people as you like - physical interview until I think you have enough information to decide - share any of my work face to face - on-line third party evaluation (code test, personality, etc.) - review any of your system with you - code for you in person - sharing on-line information (including all hn posts) - doing up to 8 hours of free sample work - provide a referral if they are a better fit Things I strongly push: - in depth discussion about the employer's situation - reverse interviewing employees with similar jobs Things I will gladly do, but only after a job offer: - provide references - drug test - credit check Things I will never do: - have a generic resume (every one is uniquely targeted) - post any resume on-line - pay a fee - physical interview with a head-hunter - provide anyone else's proprietary information - "bad mouth" anyone else
