This is my vote. Open up a dialog between interviewer and interviewee. Everyone can use a hint sometimes and it gives a chance to have a technical discussion.

That being said lately I worked hiring contractors. We give them a week long paid trial assignment (paid if they pass). Half the people I hire I don't even have a resume for. This is really the best way to hire people.
- jacalata 14y agoNo, the best way would be paid even if they fail. Making someone work for you for a week for free is horrific.
- illuminate 14y agoYes. This appears to be massively exploitative. They should never get to the point of hire if they're too unqualified to be paid.
- logn 14y agoI happen to agree but I have no say in this. If it mitigates this at all, the trial assignment is not actual work. It's been solved many times and the candidates who are good do it in 2 days, not much different than the time it takes to do an extensive round of interviews.
