- whimsicalism 6y agoYou're right and my question was poorly phrased. I meant: you have a single question that is asked as part of every single screen every year?
- deathanatos 6y agoI'm not sure what you mean by "every year", but when I screen candidates, yes, I'll ask multiple candidates the same question? It allows me to compare candidates directly without introducing the additional variable of wondering whether one had a harder question, it allows me to gain & retain experience at asking the question in how it is presented, and if the candidate does well, how we proceed to make it more difficult to suss out the candidate's skill. I do agree with the parent above though that this use of xor is trivia, and not a great interview question.
