I think having the candidate speak to his favorite project or past work is a great gauge of passion and communication skills. I always ask that, albeit in the face to face interview. It might be good to bump that step further up the funnel, but a lot of 'passion' gets lost in translation when it comes to writing vs talking.
- galfarragem 12y agoI hate to talk on the phone (aka talk without seeing the other person) so I hate phone screening. To complicate the situation, most of phone screenings I did were made by young recruiters that don't understand anything of what they are asking about, making all this thing silly and awkward. A skype interview is much more relevant but probably scary for the (non technical) recruiter. By the other hand if I can get a face to face interview, normally I'm in.
