Interviewing has been a very interesting part of my job. The only guidance I was given was the list of questions you can't ask and that was it. This is incredible given the gravity and difficulty of the decision I am helping make.
As far as a general framework for interviewing people goes, one of my friends put it pretty well:
All questions for me relate back to:
Can they do the job?
Will they do the job?
Can I work with this person.
To cover the first, I'd ask a few whiteboard questions, get a sense as to how they think and how well they code.
To cover the second I'd ask about previous projects and what their role was like, do they have side projects etc.
The third should be apparent from all the other interactions.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
These are great tips!
