Tech Interviews - can they be better? may be a little bit more meaningful
We clearly miss the Human element in Tech Interviews, Its seems purely transactional. What do you folks think??
I really want to thank everyone - my friends, peers, my network who have been so kind in referring and connecting me. I feel so lucky and blessed to have such a wonderful network. There has been so many strangers who have gone the extra mile to help me get the referral but sadly with so much good will and humane efforts. All this just gets blocked by the GATE called as TECH SCREEN/Onsite.
After Twitter Layoffs, I had a chance to talk to 60+ recruiters, 40+ tech phone screens, 10+ onsite. There is a rush to see/make the candidate answer a list of scripted questions, but there is no focus to meaningfully connect and understand. Some folks are rigid, they will not even offer time for asking questions in the end. They do not even have an understanding on how much avg time the problem takes to solve.
Remember like your time, there is other party who's time is also part of the equation.
TIME is the most critical resource. Please look for companies who value TIME. We really need a transformational change from transactional in nature to meaningful connection in our Interview Process.
Life is Fun.
PS: Even I have been guilty of these during my initial years. But being on other side so many times has helped get the perspective. I appreciate all my mentors, colleagues, all my connections for taking the time and teaching me, What I am today is all because of the wonderful work and time i have been given generously. We all learn and are able to go further by simply "Standing on the shoulders of giants" is so TRUE
