Traditional technical interview very bad for everyone, is not conducive to the company to assess the candidates, is not conducive to the Nike Free 3.0 V4 Men candidates to assess the company, not only a waste of time, but also put pressure on both sides. Almost all the people interviewed agree. But they still continue this interview. I hereby recommend that engineers have a lot of choice simply to reject these interviews. Do not be nervous, Now I want to introduce a better method of interviewing. Last month, Danny Mens Nike Free 3.0 Wool Skin Shoes Red Grey Clayton (Danny Crichton) has written several articles on technical interview. This articles written very good, I recommend you read, where I just picked some of the points in the article: There's nothing like the software engineering industry, like so openly hostile to its practitioners ...... We let the candidates in pressure site programming environment in a lot of interviews on the board, only because this is our practice in this line ...... we really should not miss so much talent shortage in engineers time. He was inspired by Thomas Ptacek's article: This does not Mens Nike Free Run 3 Shoes Grey 3 work now interviewing software developers. Companies should not be this way and then recruit people. Smart team will beat the competition by designing new recruitment Nike Lunareclipse program. Indeed. And, in my mind, the situation finally began to change. More companies began to let the candidates to do the test project, not only the whiteboard interview. Other companies are not so keen to look at the interview stage excluding those qualified candidates (but more ruthlessly expelled them in a few months). These changes produce the effect, Google's director of human resources a few years ago admitted: 'Riddles sheer waste of time' and 'test scores have no value.' However, technical interview has not disappeared. I could re-write this a few years ago 'technical interview is dead' (Chinese version here), but I did not. At least a technical interview was not yet dead. It was dying, but died too slow. Those of us who hate technical interview had to admit that, even though the company knew whiteboard type interview is far from perfect, they still insist on using it for a reason, some claim to legitimacy on some of them. These reasons include: interview from the company's perspective is a relatively measurable, repeatable process. Everyone knows that the interview process is like. Just a few questions, the answers to set some standard considerations. Even when necessary, (most) of the technical staff can become the interviewer. The company wanted to eliminate as soon as possible obviously unsuitable candidates, it is difficult not to ask technical questions in the interview, when even those of us who do the interviewer will be so ...... in particular 579827-300 Sport Turquoise Nike LeBron X PS Elite Online the traditional interview in particular. Of course you want to select talented people, excluding those who no talent. Traditional technical interview is considered more in the interview seem like nothing to the people, rather than to actually appears to have no people. There seems to be regarded as a catastrophic situation in the past; a poor hiring engineers were deemed not to hire more than two good engineers worse. In good engineer so scarce today, this view is obsolete. The current approach is to replace the technical interview arranged a test project to candidates, at best, this approach may still not perfect. In fact it is difficult to find meaningful and will not take up too much time of the candidate of small projects. Meanwhile, the candidates hope this project is paid, they may also say that they have not quit, you can not spend so much effort on a study of the project, and the company also worry the project will be copied, and even outsourced. This is why the personal recommendation is still the favorite for all recruitment methods ............ in turn explains why the technology industry, so the lack of diversity. Therefore, we want to find a reliable way to replace the traditional Nike Running interview techniques, this method not only benefit the Nike Air Max company, but also beneficial for Mens Nike Free 3.0 Wool Skin Shoes Red Grey the candidates, but also to help those who are now silently ignored this recommendation process people. This win is too daunting a task. I certainly will not forget to address all the problems there are many start-up companies. But I have a different idea. This method can be said to give candidates an obligation to increase, but I think it is good for the candidates. My proposal is: engineers, particularly those hottest outstanding engineers should begin simply to refuse to participate in a whiteboard-type interview. Indeed, only in front of the interview will lose good candidates, forcing the company to quickly find a better interview methods. However, the refusal must be made at the same conditions: with a discussion or demonstration of their own candidates in his spare time developed a small project to replace the interview. This is what I envisioned Application Process: 30-60 minutes interviewer familiar with the candidates to develop the project. Then the two sides spend one to two Mens Nike Free Run 3 Shoes Blue 3 hours to discuss the project, including the candidate architecture and implementation decisions made, this alternative to other programs, they want to add features, code structure and each line of code quality, environment and configuration issues Wait. Topic discussions often involved should be fixed, so that these topics can be repeated in other interviews, the candidates and the interviewer can be compared with each other, the results can be measured. These topics can be: they use global variables it? Code follows the MVC framework or other architectural patterns? The method is reasonably structured or packaged? User interface can show understanding of usability issues it? There are test code? and so on. Half of these topics to a comprehensive survey code, half is to examine candidates 'for them (claims) to write their own code to understand how much.' Mens Nike Free Run 3 Shoes Grey 3 Next, let the interviewer candidate site for their project to add a small feature. At this point the interviewer should be sure that the project has been well prepared, the candidate is not really belly complete this project. If the answer is yes, then the two sides can continue to agree on a time, let the candidates Air Jordan Outlet to participate in the development of the company pre-determined test project. Test project can be a long-term project, it can be done every few months a new project. (Development of new projects is very suitable for the new employee.) After allow candidates to submit pull requests Nike Free 3.0 V5 new features, it should need to work 4-8 hours. Test items can be of any type, but must be small enough to test candidates can work and can maintain a reasonable schedule can be. Let another interviewer to assess the pull request, to see how other people's views on the candidates. Or you can let candidates with one to two hours to another interviewer to develop a smaller feature, so more convincing and more efficient. The final decision whether to hire. Look, this is not in place with technical interview approach? This method does not need to be written on the whiteboard in the code, do not Mens Nike Free 3.0 Wool Skin Shoes Red Grey need to answer Riddles, the latter does not require applicants no longer have to write again to write a detailed algorithm implementation details. I will not put all 2015 Nike Free 5.0 the problems of this method boast a pair of final perfect solution, but I believe that most companies still stick to the whiteboard interview, this method or a similar method is feasible, but much better than the status quo. However, this would require a much more complex than the original Prerequisites: Each candidate must have completed an independent small projects for their business card. I do not think this is unreasonable. In fact, I think you could happily reject all people who have not this card. (Lest I rant: I myself am a full-time software engineer, I often travel, and has written the book, gave TechCrunch writing this column every Mens Nike Free Run 3 Shoes Blue 3 week, but I still have time to develop my own little software project which I recently developed project is open source) four years ago, when I first interviewed here criticize traditional techniques ineffective against productive, I wrote:... 'Do not interview any person unhelpful Never certificate and degree not score, there is a real project real users is in a Google App Engine and Amazon Web Services has free services layer, registered as Android developers and publishing applications in the Android Market just $ 25 in the world, software Developers no reason he did not make a watch can proudly show it to others websites, applications or services. 'I think these words on today even more so. On the other hand, if you really have the results, there is a boast of personal items that you should not jump into a whiteboard programming interview in this senseless cycle. You can do better. We can all do better.is a bad time to give an interview to the revolution of technology
