why interviewing is not automated yet
- pwaivers 8y agoHow would you automate it?
- bra-ket 8y agoreplace human interviewers asking to flip a binary tree with a robot
- csnewb 8y agoSo basically you're asking for a HackerRank screening. In my experience, if your code doesn't pass 100% of all test cases you get automatically rejected. At least with a human interviewer, they can evaluate your thought process even if the code itself isn't quite correct. Trust me you don't want to me interviewed only by robots.
- SketchySeaBeast 8y agoHow would you determine if the person is a good fit culturally via an automated system?
- bra-ket 8y agohave a human-to-human interview asking behavioral and background questions and automate all the whiteboard/leetcode parts with boilerplate Q&A
- steelframe 8y agoOften times the most valuable signal comes from how the candidate got to an answer rather than the exact answer that the candidate got to.
- bra-ket 8y agowhen you apply to graduate school they don't ask you to solve calculus problems on a whiteboard to get the 'signal', the signal comes from 1) standardized tests 2) prior work 3) recommendations 4) behavioral interviews
- SketchySeaBeast 8y agoSo the entire purpose of the whiteboard interviews are to determine if the user got the answer, that's it? There's no other elements in play there?
- bra-ket 8y agothis should be similar to GRE, SAT or any other standardized IQ test
- randallsquared 8y agoHow do you determine the difference between finding "a good fit culturally" and furthering a monoculture?
- afarrell 8y agoOne approach is to define a set of values and communication habits that you believe you need people to be aligned on. That way, you allow for natural variation outside of that and you avoid giving your culture-fit interviewers a vague task.
- GFischer 8y agoThe technical part is, at several companies (including the one I work for). A lot of companies now rely on tools such as Codility / Leetcode / HackerRank for technical screening, or their own in-house tests.
