If this is really the hiring process they use, it must be seriously limiting their candidate pool. At least it seems like it'd be hard to find anybody with a full-time job who would be able to devote some unknown number of days to do real work for a company as part of the interview process. Finding good people who are additionally willing to do it for free must be even harder.
I guess it'd be fine if you just want to hire consultants, students or the unemployed. Am I misunderstanding something about that post?
- kkowalczyk 15y agoIt's not an unknown number of days. It's 1-2 days. Major companies with good hiring processes (Microsoft, Google) require 1-2 full days of your time for the interviews, so it's not different time-wise. The difference is that instead of talking to several people for 1hr each, you spend the time coding. If you ask me, coding is better as a way of judging if someone knows how to, you know, code.
- codemac 15y agoUm, the 1-2 days for interviews (at least for google) were not contiguous.
