If I were a Microsoft recruiter

Sept. 6, 2018

Introduction

I came out the idea to write the blog using this topic "If I were a Microsoft recruiter". I had the idea after I did three hours study on Leetcode contest 99, I was so amazed that people are working so hard to practice on Leetcode.com and also share their passion and knowledge, and I was so surprised that I can use those Leetcode.com data to analyze a player's performance and potential, even the work ethnics.

I know that it is so difficult for me to make decision who to contact if I were a Microsoft recruiter, and I did some study on those player's performance on Leetcode contest.

Official blog about Microsoft 

I am the recruiter, so I will study more from Microsoft official site about what they are looking for. Here is the article called "I'm Microsoft' Head of Talent: Here's How to Get Hired".

My own research to identify talent

I certainly can do my own research, for example, using Leetcode contest 99, and then find a candidate hired by Microsoft before, using his data, evaluate the talent.

I like to explore Leetcode contest, and find top 10% on the market in terms of data structure and algorithm. So I can use this data for me to come out the formula to evaluate the potential candidate if Leetcode data is available for the candidate. The comparison is best way.
