One thing I've taken away in my career, interviewing every 3-5 years is that difficulty of interview & difficulty of job are uncorrelated. Often they are inversely correlated.
Possible reasons..
Sometimes a team is growing so fast / or turnover is so high / everyone is so busy / etc that they cannot really stand up a proper interview process .. and/or they just need to get people into seats, and are happy to fire fast later.
Sometimes a job is so boring and team leads have so much time on their hands that they can construct immaculate interview processes and spend hours grilling candidates.
- gwbas1c 2mo ago> difficulty of interview & difficulty of job Define "difficulty of job" I'm going to assume you mean "people problems;" because the best way a team avoids people problems is by interviewing very, very carefully.
- WorldMaker 2mo agoYou avoid people problems by interviewing soft skills as soft skills, not building elaborate mazes of "technical interviews" that are really soft skill interviews testing how pedantic you want to be or how much you want candidates to sweat in soft skill-dominant conditions that don't resemble your job that you are hiring for.
