<p>I always fail interview tasks :) But last time I got an offer anyway.</p>
<p>Personally I used to think that interview tasks are not reasonable because there is no time to solve a complicated task (may be only by chance) and solving a simple one just has no sense. </p>
<p>But recently I've got several proofs that they are necessary. I've interviewed a couple of very good guys with a decent experience and nice personality, but they had dramatically failed basic technical assignments.</p>
<p>My current strategy is to not ask for a working code (and yes, leave people alone) but for algorithms and ideas. At least it brings some sense how they approach the problems and what do they know.... на "Найм: вы всё делаете не так"

<p>I disagree with the blog post, with the opinions, and with the comments because although you have presented certain instructions, you are missing any higher-level theory, or model to describe the problem and identify its core entities. In addition to that, you are missing any data that could be used as an empirical evidence to support your (missing) theory. </p>
<p>Now the question I ask is how can you blindly give others instructions without understanding the problem?Ivan Sagalaev на "Найм: вы всё делаете не так"

<p>The unique skill of teachers is empathy — the ability to step into another person's shoes and understand how they think. This makes them able to explain things to other people, as well as understand explanations made by scientists and engineers. They are good at teaching (obviously) but also at writing documentation, talking on behalf of the team and hiring people.Constanine Linnick на "Найм: вы всё делаете не так"

It googles for 5 minutes. But talking about previous projects, wins and fails, problems and insights gives much more information about candidate P.S. Picture made my day
