What are the key skills you look for in candidates?
Teachability is a big one. Testing a candidates’ coding ability at the front end of the recruiting process will help you test their problem-solving ability. But we’re not focused on whether they get the problem right, we’re more interested in how they’re attacking that problem and whether they’re open to feedback and being coached on their approach. HackerRank has been especially helpful for us during the coding assessment and video CodePair sessions, to really nail into this. So that we know this candidate we’re bringing on-site is definitely going to pass by a certain percentage the whiteboard sessions they have to complete.
Some facts:
2 engineers - work on HackerRank assessment -> onsite -> population was failing -> the reason is that the problems are not challenging enough.
3 assessments -> 7 assessments -> different levels of qualification/experience/background per candidate
upfront assessments, pass-through rates -> save time, save candidates time. Continue to calibrate and align on that proper background.
