We’ve all experienced the job application which required us to do an online coding test. You have to brush up on your algorithms, data structures, time complexity, and by the end of it you’re cramming as if it was a university exam! Now that we’re the ones usually interviewing candidates, a good question to ask is: “are online coding tests the best indicator of a candidate’s proficiency and competence?” In this talk, we’ll explore:
- The pitfalls of Leetcode-like tests
- What we should be looking for in candidates
- How pair programming is the best way to see how a candidate would work with the team
- Plus a little mini demo on a remote pair programming interview
