`- Take-home technical assignment (~4h) or similar at candidate's choosing`
This. Get rid of this. Everybody that reads this, get rid of it if you have such a step in your interview process.
Do a 1 hour maximum live challenge instead, or skip it entirely if the candidate has any public code you review and good enough.
This is what I've done in the current company and we've managed to hire some extremely good senior candidates because of it.
- crackinmalackin 4y ago100% agree on the 1 hour maximum live challenge. As long as the challenge is relevant to the role being applied for, this is the way to go. This is enough time for the company to see some code and for both parties to ask questions about the tech, role, etc.
- sys_64738 4y agoThis is actually insulting to senior developers. You're gonna ask for a four hour take home and presentation like it's show and tell at hight school. I know how to code and don't have to prove to you that I can. If you think I do then you have a real problem.
