I have (for the last two decades or so) found that getting a candidate to draw a couple of flow charts usually 'tells the tale'.
Not that I've not found people who could not draw flow charts at all to later turn out to be solid assets, but
poor flow charters have almost always turned out to be 'duds'.
(Do I need to rephrase the above paragraph or what?)
- jnorthrop 16y agoI see no need to rephrase what you've wrote. I think that's a pretty simple and clever way to determine how someone solves problems. I'm going to give that a shot. My personal philosophy is to hire "aggressive learners." This is type of person who will get visibly agitated when you do something for them without explaining what you're doing. Or will spend hours teaching themselves a skill so that can be more independent. That type of personality seems to learn quickly, adapt easily to new challenges and will welcome change.
