one, two, many - Currently @cabify, ex @gitlab infra, ex @aws. Care about culture & hiring.

@ciscou Nice!

Then, what is a good FE challenge that is exactly like work?

[Pablo Carranza @psczg]

#FrontEnd we need an opinion!

Here's one idea for you to judge how bad it is: given the HTML page with one div, center it both vertically and horizontally by whatever means you think is reasonable. The acceptance criteria: we'll run ten browsers in ten resolutions, and assess the position.

good or not?

You don't need to punish your candidates with whiteboard interview when you know what to ask them.

@solyarisoftware @gcampax Totally, interviewing is hard from both sides. Thus the question to ask in an interview should not be "can you survive this high-stress situation" but rather "can I work with you and you with me?" - leave the "can do the work" to the work itself or as close to it as possible.

[Pablo Carranza @psczg]

@solyarisoftware @gcampax For me, a candidate in an interview is in survival mode, not showing the real mindset/culture - they're being judged thus they will do their best to "like" thus you will not get a good sample. The mental process of "survival instinct" is not a good predictor of "can do the job".

[Pablo Carranza @psczg]

@solyarisoftware @gcampax 1. It is the starting point of the conversation.
2. Agree, it's the wrong metric yet so many people do it. Mindset/culture is a different kind of interview, but that still doesn't tell if the candidate can do the work.

[Pablo Carranza @psczg]

@solyarisoftware @gcampax You can't _see_ the mental process of an introvert in a staged performance of solving a fake problem on a whiteboard. You can only see a performance.

@kf I never needed more than 1 recruiter to do the human touch work for me, and I always asked them to focus on keeping in touch and giving feedback and information early and frequently, to be a friendly human.

Another world is possible in hiring.

[Pablo Carranza @psczg]

@kf Candidates with an "odd" resume who would not have passed a recruiter (or myself with my unconscious biases) had fantastic answers and passed on to an interview. Some of them eventually got an offer.

@flopezluis @txetxuvel por ejemplo? aquí uno que sobrevivió al live streaming de la recuperación de la db de @gitlab

[Pablo Carranza @psczg]

@NorbertHartl @pragdave I've seen load of 4000 in a host that was serving git repos which where accessed through NFS (long story) yet the host being responsive because all those processes were simply looping on iowait

#techhiring is hard, and at bigger scales is even worse.

Now with the rise of #remotework, you might be processing up to 10x applications for #developer #jobs. Are you ready? Probably not.

But we know how to hire great engineers, check us out 👀!

@northrup This has happened before, and it will happen again https://t.co/DyfmByLs8g

[Félix López @flopezluis]

Really interesting tool!
It does interviews for you. It grades submissions automatically to ensure that they meet challenge objectives and avoid the typical biases in hiring

❌#hiring #developers is complicated. Stop burning time in candidates that have zero chance to go through. Stop making bad hiring decisions.

✅ Hire smartly 🧠 with https://t.co/NewvGNh6ql, focus on the right metric: the ability to deliver 💰💰💰

@flopezluis Human comunicaron is a miracle

[Pablo Carranza @psczg]

@flopezluis nope, those should not change, those are the ones I call moral values.
