I agree with you generally, but you'd better have loaner machines ready. Not every candidate currently has a working, dev-capable laptop. Economic bias. (Hell, my current laptop is only 70% functional because I can't decide if I want to repair or replace it.)
- tptacek 8y agoIf economic bias is your concern, then you shouldn't be asking people to travel onsite for a tech-out interview; you should be doing everything you can to make tech qualification remote, so that by the time you need to call them to your office, you and the candidate have a pretty good idea it's worth disrupting their work and home life with the trip. After hundreds of interviews (I have no idea; lots, over 10 years of almost continuous hiring) I've never run into a candidate that couldn't do a tech challenge remotely.
