Re:What do the best interviewers have in common?

Right. There are two ways you get to implementing binary search in an interview: (1) figuring it out from some basics & possibly hints or (2) reciting it from memory.
1 is useful, 2 is useless.
Having used inteviewing.io, it facilitates #1 much more than #2, as a good process should. Interviewer ratings help that.
