A comment on Ask HN: How do you validate new hire candidates (especially senior leaders)?.
You need to answer 4 questions:
- Are they smart?
- Can they get shit done?
- Are they passionate about their work?
- Are they an asshole?
For programmers we solve this with the following:
- Phone Screen
- Coding Challenge (offline, on their time, reviewed by team)
- Design Challenge (take loose requirements, build UI, models, and project plan)
- Project Presentation (talk about an awesome project you did in detail)
- Pair Programming (Work directly with an engineer to solve a simple coding challenge)
