If a developer gets offended over something as simple as that AND goes offline without much word of an explanation as to why, I'd be relieved because I've just dodged a bullet.
- ryanbrunner 13y agoThat's probably true, but on the other hand - in my experience if you're really interested in attracting real talent, interviews are as much about selling your company to them as evaluating their skills. Building an interview process that doesn't allow interaction beyond pasting instructions might be a signal to the developer that they don't want to work there.
- digita88 13y agoI am commenting based on my past experience. This sort of behaviour is more of a red flag against the developer rather than against the company. I knew someone who displayed duplicate behaviour in the past before I learned my lesson. Happy to let other companies train and deal with these types of people.
