d3fun··on Hire For The Ability To Get Shit Done

d3fun··on What happened to common decency in the hiring process?
Yes! the last interview I had with a very well known company lasted 3 months from the first mail from recruiter to his last email. It went weeks in between phone interviews to schedule the next one and often involving me to send few mails to ask for feedback. And for onsite he forgot about sending a confirmation mail and it took several mails to arrange a onsite interview which took 3-4 weeks of delay . And its not that I did poorly in interviews and they have to think twice for next interview and often my interviewers gave me their email to contact incase of any delay. And this is not one off experience there are few more companies and recruiters who doesn't respond for days until I send a mail. I do interview candidates for my team we often try to get feedback on the same day or next day so we can decide upon to hire or at least update candidate on the status.
d3fun··on Redesigning the Technical Hiring Process
Having been on both sides of table this process makes more sense than a traditional white board coding problems. In regular interviews one always asks set of known problems so there is a good chance that candidate already prepared for these problems. In a company that I worked for we had a 2-3 day boot camp to hire usually these are new grads so most of the time they are ok with the lengthy process. We used to give them set of projects and allow them to interact with each other and use google to research etc.. .Although this process was good we couldn't sustain as the company grew.
