If you do the coding test before interviewing the candidate, you are wasting the time of many candidates who will be screened out for being insufficiently hipster, having Windows on their resume, and similar non-coding related reasons.
Is he being cheeky? Why would you screen someone out for not being a hipster or having Windows on their resume?
- yummyfajitas 13y agoI've gone through the whole hiring rigamarole, done the coding test, etc, and been rejected at the last minute due to a lack of culture fit. (And justifiably so.) The point is that I'd rather have that happen after a 20 minute phone interview than after a 2 hour code test.
