My Thoughts on Technical Interviews-Part 1




















1.It is the most important aspect of hiring technical talent(backbone of any technology organization) hence requires standardization.

What I mean by standardization is to maintain a degree of difficulty,ranking of candidate based on difference aspect of that particular technology,exclusion of certain type of questions (both technical and non technical) etc.

2.Standard criteria for being eligible as interviewer.(Years of experience,appraisal rating etc.)

3.Presence of training academy for budding interviewers within the organization.

4.Interviewers need to pass specific tests after training in the Interview Training academy in order to be eligible for taking interviews.

5.Interviewers should be rewarded for taking interviews.

6.Interviewers should be held accountable for the candidates they select.(how I dont know.Need your suggestion regarding this).
