Evaluating technical skills in interviews isn't just about asking hard questions. It's about asking the right question for the role. There are a half dozen or more techniques that you can use to evaluate coding skills in candidates, and they all have pros and cons...well, they all have cons, and some have pros. Each technique needs to balance a bunch of different things, like: → Candidate Experience and Time Commitment → Interviewer Time Commitment → Interviewer Expertise Needed → Cost of Implementation → Decision Confidence Figuring out how to create a great process that addresses all of those things can be difficult, especially when you're an already overworked engineering manager.
