The technical interview is a complex process that companies struggle to get right, despite having access to numerous resources on how to improve it. The lack of clear guidelines and best practices for conducting interviews leads to inconsistent results and poor hiring decisions. Key experts in the field, including CoderPad's David Corea and Census CEO Boris Jabes, emphasize the importance of creating a fair and unbiased interview process that measures a candidate's hard skills and imagination. They argue that traditional whiteboard-based interviews are not effective in assessing a candidate's ability to solve real-world problems. Instead, they recommend using tools like CoderPad to provide candidates with a familiar editor and unbiased problems to showcase their skills. Additionally, experts stress the need for companies to experiment and iterate on their interview processes to measure impact and improve results. By doing so, both companies and candidates can benefit from more effective hiring decisions.
