Just off the top of my head, a few possible hiring processes.<p>- Recommendations from people you trust<p>- Pairing interview<p>- Give a difficult&#x2F;open ended homework problem<p>- Whiteboarding interviews are suitable for some candidates, they&#x27;re not all bad ;)<p>- Pick from your list (<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;sethgodin.typepad.com&#x2F;seths_blog&#x2F;2010&#x2F;12&#x2F;whos-on-your-list.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;sethgodin.typepad.com&#x2F;seths_blog&#x2F;2010&#x2F;12&#x2F;whos-on-your...</a>)<p>- Asking the candidate for ideas as to how they&#x27;d best be assessed<p>- Culture fit ; Gut feeling ; or any conversational interview followed by review of performance after 1 month<p>- Portfolio review (no one actually does it in my experience)<p>- Hiring off reputation in the community<p>I&#x27;m sure there are plenty more.
