Software hiring runs on folklore. There is actual research on what works and what doesn’t. Most of the industry has never seen it. There’s a body of peer-reviewed research on how technical interviews work, what they actually measure, and where they fail. Most people I talk to, on both sides of the table, have never read any of it. I have create a short survey to see what people across the industry have experienced and what they know about the research. The form has three sections. Experience profile, multiple choice on the literature and a few open-ended scenarios. About ten minutes. Anonymous. No email collection. Open to candidates, interviewers, both, or neither. https://lnkd.in/g9yMrxam Share the form and help me get better results.
