Some typical technical interview practices can be harmful and get in the way of hiring great people. April Wensel offers advice to help fix the technical interview process.
She recommends:
- hire for mindset and attitude
- look for empathy and mentorship skills
- allow candidates to show their strengths instead of hunting for weaknesses
- have the candidate leave feeling good about themselves and your company, regardless of the hiring decision
Some topics discussed:
- interview questions to bring out stories of skills and successes
- stereotype threat
- diversity
- interview hazing
- white boards
- coding challenges
- unconscious bias
- emotional intelligence
- myth of talent shortage
- pair programming and collaboration during interviews
- mirrortocracy
- cultural add vs cultural fit
- empathy
- mentoring
This episode is important for anyone going into a technical interview, as a candidate, as a hiring manager, or as a member of an interview team.
