How I didn't become a SoundClouder

Last time I was hiring an iOS dev, we had a cool 2 hour pairing session (it was supposed to be 1 hour, but time flies when you're having fun), doing something really simple in the scope of the project. He shown how he works, and tackles problems, answered some questions, got hired. You really can hire in a humane way, you just need to want it.

If it's worth your time, its worth my time. I am happy to do any interview testing and activities as long it is on location.

Any "homework" longer than an hour or so is disproportionally a burden on the candidate. I feel it is unethical and a dealbreaker for me.

Pair programming tests are fair because the company is investing the same time as candidate, just like any interview.

Asking candidates to do tests on their own time is rude and dumb.
