Lots of good advice for better interviews. I like the structure it brings making sure you got balanced evidences.
I'm trying to approach interviews like this as well. It's better for everyone when it feels like a conversation rather than constant questioning. The trick is to still capture information about the skills you need to evaluate though.
Hiring and designing interviews is still not an easy task in our field. This post gives a couple of interesting things to try.
Good advice. Since I got to review quite a few... I'd like to see them more like that. The worst part is when one also fails to point his accomplishments during the interview. I ask specific questions about this and most time get nothing meaningful in return.
As I often says: interviews are also for candidate to evaluate the potential employer. If you're interviewing there are good questions to ask, here are a few ideas. I think I'm almost never asked those unfortunately...
Unsurprisingly, hiring scams are becoming more elaborate. Keep it in mind for your upcoming interviews.
Good set of advices. I wish more people applying for a job would follow them.
This is indeed a nice way to approach technical interviews. Unfortunately it requires quite some effort to setup and maintain. You also have to find the right bugs to put in the interview and this is a rarity.
Definitely true, this is mostly about avoiding false positives. Still I don't like online assessments platforms either... you need to see how the candidate is doing, interact with them, etc.
Good ideas and questions to interview candidates. I don't think I would use everything though. Also I think some of what's proposed here would work for candidates at any level of experience.
An old post, but very much true... People who really know C++ have stared the abyss in the eye, and you can tell.
And now for something different... a very funny piece. I guess I'm glad I'm doing lots of interviews remotely nowadays.
Plenty of sound advices for the written part of an application.
Good list of advices, I regularly see people failing because of fundamental things like this... despite explaining my expectations first. So I'd add: listen to what the interviewer says about how he's going to assess you.
Wow, that's a very thorough hiring and interview process. I'm not sure all organizations have the luxury to do all of it. Still plenty of interesting nuggets in there, it gave me a couple of ideas on how to reword or change some of the control questions I usually use.
Hiring and interview isn't simple. There are good advises in this piece. In particular I strongly agree with the fact that leet coding is probably not it and that having something guided and scripted it necessary.
It's coming from the job interview domain... but I wonder if it could be more largely useful due to how simple it is (but not easy mind you). I guess I'll experiment with it for my next project postmortem.
Interesting set of tips for interviews. Definitely inspiring to dig deeper on a candidate motives and behaviors.
A very good list of criteria... Definitely questions we should ask ourselves regularly to know where we stand.
OK, that's an interesting approach to the note taking during interviews. I'm a bit far from that which is fine... and still that gives me ideas for improvements.
