interviewing and finding the right candidates is very simple process - make sure you know who the right person is (but be open to be blown away by something entirely different) and work backwards from there. what is your ideal candidate? how are they the missing lego block to complete the masterpiece? what do other already-assembled blocks do? what tools are they using? I’ve been on so many interviews (on both sides) and am always blown away by what percentage of that process is wasted on meaningless things (like reversing a linked list). you know what you need and are probably surrounded by many amazing people - just find another one of them to complete the puzzle
