I can't give you enough upvotes. I also do a lot of interviews and hire people, and it's just very hard.
Plus, you only know the false positives, but never the false negatives.
And I also think that a lot of people who never interview candidates don't realize how many of them can't even code the most basic stuff.
- Der_Einzige 5y agoSo, the answer is to ask easier leetcodes. I unironically only ask fizzbuzz and then domain specific questions (in my case it's ML/NLP). You can even design domain specific "leetcode like" questions for your domain. In my case, it could be to come up with a very simple implementation of K-NN. I accept psudocode and leave the editor, compiler (err, run button...) And Google open as resources that they can use during this time. But companies won't do this! Bloody Google of all places had me do a code interview in a Google doc!. Imagine my horror as I am fighting indentation issues while trying to come up with the lc hard solution he asked in 45 mins.
