Ask HN: How to Interview Developers?

by ahmaman on 10/9/2019, 7:21 AM with 2 comments

In most of the job technical interviews I went to as a developer, I got the feeling that a lot of the "technical" questions are just plain random and don't really measure any technical knowledge...

While I manage with most of these interviews, I feel that there is a room for improvement...

How were some of the technical interview that you think were planned well?

    >Can the candidate understand the mission of the company?

    >Can the candidate make sound search queries?

    >Can the candidate setup an environment?

    >Can the candidate into version control?

    >Can the candidate into debugging some piece of code?

    Pretty much sums it up

    EDIT : Also, punctuality is key, lateness is not acceptable. All Stakeholders must be present to start the meeting, we can't afford to wait.
