Ask HN: Share your interview / hiring practices?

I wrote about the other side of it (the interviewee) here http://rawsyntax.com/post/6112439871/interviewing-for-progra...

FWIW, I don't think coding exercises help. I think the employer should require and example project that runs, and the source code to it. Many good developers have a side project that they can show off.

I've interviewed many people who looked great on the resume and failed to do even a trivial coding question. The good developers quickly wade through such a question without a winch which leaves plenty of time to discuss interesting projects and see how they think.

And if they don't, it's probably not a great sign.
