How GitHub does take home technical interviews

GitHub has enhanced its technical interview process by implementing a "take-home" challenge that mirrors real-world work scenarios and seamlessly integrates with the GitHub platform. Candidates receive a repository containing the exercise, which they complete using their preferred tools and submit via a pull request. The process is automated with the Interview-bot, which anonymizes submissions to reduce bias. Each candidate's work is evaluated based on a standardized rubric, ensuring objective and consistent assessments. This innovative approach not only respects candidates' time by imposing reasonable time limits but also aligns closely with daily operations at GitHub, creating a more authentic and equitable evaluation of candidates' skills.
