Title: I'm hiring a senior developer right now. Our first interview has a 4-question screen, where I ask them to implement a simple function, implement a recursive function, write a simple SQL select (join across two tables), and create a simple object model (how would you represent a car as an object).<p>~70% of the "senior developer" applicants fail<p>We're extremely happy with our process--this is only step 1--and it's been amazing at yielding a great set of candidates for each hire, but two weeks of administering the tech screen to applicants leaves me a bit depressed. (sigh)
