- dougk16 13y agoCould you elaborate? Not sure what you mean with the time savings.
- jloughry 13y agoI mean interviewing in the context of a programmer being asked to help interview people. I would get called to do this a few times a week at my last job. Manager comes in with a stack of twenty or so résumés and says, "pick a couple of these for interviews". I'd read through them, looking for things like what companies they worked for, how long, what technologies and projects they worked on, sometimes things like what schools they went to (Stanford or MIT computer science would obviously get my attention, along with Purdue, Mellon, Waterloo, or UW). But what I really needed was a "blink comparator". I wanted to Page Up/Page Down through that stack of résumés rapidly and focus on the differences between candidates across a particular set of skills. "Hmm...C++ (PgDn PgDn PgDn PgDn PgDn)". "Now, do any of them do any open source (PgUp PgUp PgUp PgUp PgUp)". "How about security? (PgDn PgDn PgDn PgDn PgDn)". ETA: startup idea... Like that.
