I give computer (coding) interviews instead of whiteboard interviews, and the candidates are allowed to freely use the compiler. This should be more natural than whiteboard interviews and closer to actual programming work. The candidate may tend to be less communicative than in a whiteboard interview, but I can still observe what they are typing and ask them questions.
- hessenwolf 12y agoI would really appreciate it if you could describe some of your experiences in this in more detail. How many approximately have you given? How is the success rate? How many do you turn away, and why? Have you been able to match up key successes and disappointments with particular signals in the interview, and what were they?
- ArchD 12y agoThere wasn't any A/B testing since when I think about whiteboard vs computer, I already have the notion that if you can write code on a whiteboard, you can write it more easily and naturally on a computer. I've given 5-10 such interviews.
