We ask people to pair-program with an interviewer on a realistic task. No tricks, no brainteasers. We just get to see how people do the job we want them to do.

- biztos 8y agoIs pair-programming actually used in your company? Just curious, as I do something similar but solely to see how the person writes code. Folks are free to pair-program or not once hired. I've found almost everyone needs help on some simple part of the task, and how they respond to the help is pretty useful information.
- bitwize 8y agoI've interviewed at places with a pair programming part of the interview, that didn't use pairing during actual development. It is an enormous help toward glimpsing the mind of the programmer as they program.
- EngineerBetter 8y agoYep, we pair at least 80% of the time.
