Convincing engineers to join your team
What&#x27;s with the standard of doing a full day interview? Who does this work for other than fresh graduates? I don&#x27;t want to spend a whole day (which I have to request off from my current employer) answering probably-silly technical puzzles as the first round interview (the 25 minute phone call doesn&#x27;t really count since it sounds like just a pitch).<p>Does a full day of whiteboarding really get you better candidates than say, a single hour technical interview or 1 or 2 hour homework? I&#x27;d rather do half a dozen video chat interviews spread out over a month than give a whole day just for the possibility of a new job. I&#x27;d prefer a single technical interview or homework over that by a mile.<p>If you tell me your interview process is a 25 minute call followed by a whole day of technical interviews, I&#x27;ll tell you to take a hike.
