Hiring Ideas

Often, the code exams; which we take while someone is watching can be painful.

What about this?

In the era of open source, we could instead work on existing code and submit pull requests.
We get to pick an existing issue and go for it.

  • We win by getting familiar with current code bases.
  • Interviewers win by getting pull requests regardless of the final hiring decision.

Schedule Interviews After the Pull Request

  • After the pull requests are submitted, call us in for the interview and we can have an intelligent conversation about things that matter.
