There's not really time in a 30 minute interview to pose a real business problem, much less have any meaningful representative work done, by which to judge the candidate.
- rhizome 12y agoWhy would you only allow 30min at the stage where the candidate is writing code? 30min is for the phone screen, in-person is when you're serious.
- ianstallings 12y agoAgreed. If I have you in the office I may talk to you for the rest of the day and I schedule accordingly.
- rhizome 12y agoAnd if you're LinkedIn you never communicate with them again.
- learc83 12y agoAnd by sticking to that limitation, you're seriously undermining the predictive power of your interview.
- recursive 12y agoYes, that's true. As a benefit though, I don't have to be a full-time interviewer, and can sometimes actually do my real work.
- iopq 12y agoThat's why it's really stupid to do that. You're testing something that's not going to be used at the job.
