> When I was in charge of hiring I dealt with this every day. A huge swath of software engineers lie about their skills, involvement in projects, and just general accomplishments. These also tended to be the people who did best in our leetcode exercises.
How did you filter for the lies/bs? Did you drill them to see if they actually knew the topics at hand?
- kodah 4y agoIn my interviews I got my portion of the interview over quickly, a basic test of programming skills. After that, let them talk and just start mapping the dots on their resume to what they say. If it sounds too far from what's on their resume then just ask. Interestingly, most people are happy to tell you the truth if you don't make them feel bad while calling it out.
