Give them a unique programming problem before hand and ask them to bring their solution to the interview, and then discuss the solution with them.
Unless they "cheat" this should give you a good idea of what they're capable of. The cheating should also show up if they cannot explain it or why they wrote it the way they did.
- jlgreco 14y agoHow far beforehand would you suggest? Would walking into the interview, handing them the problem, and then telling them that you'll come back in 10/15 minutes to "start" the interview be acceptable?
