Because candidates have lives outside of code. They probably already have a job, so taking a week off for "vacation" which will actually be a "paid interview" sounds like a crummy deal. Writing a patch-- similarly, it's eating into their own time. You're going to lower your hire rate from that.
- dagw 11y agoIf they can take half a day or a day out of their life to show up for an interview then certainly they can take the same time out of their life to write some code instead.
- lukasm 11y agobut it's paid so you can take a week off between jobs. As I said, give them an option. Interview can take a whole day, doing a project pretty much the same, but you can split it into a few day or do it over the weekend.
