You know, when I'm interviewing someone my VASTLY preferred approach is to have them walk me through something they've coded that they're proud of. That's not aways possible, but often it is. Give me a good slow walk through your github repo and tell me where and why you made the choices you did, what the tradeoffs were, etc. . . Better than making some poor bastard jump through hoops on problems that only vaguely resemble the ones they'll be solving at work.
- mongol 8y agoYes this is the best method I have found. Let them explain something they have worked on that provides them with experience they believe qualifies them for the position. Here I can surely expect them to have depth, assess their communication skills, be able to explain further on questions from me etc.
