At larger companies, a few things I’ve experienced or heard of that I would implement: 1. Referrals are the best source, trust the people you’ve already hired to find others 2. Raise the bar interviewer from an unrelated department who just says will this person be better 1/2

...than half the people already here 3. Anonymous survey of hiring committee before for pass, yes, big YES and a few specific 1-5 star ratings 4. Contract work to demonstrate skill on a few weeks to few months basis 5. Realistic case study interviews based on the actual job 2/2

It’s an amazon thing, the “raise the bar” interviewer is not part of the department doing the hiring. They have veto power. The only thing they’re evaluating is “does this person raise the bar” as in they’re better than at least 50% of people already at the company

Got it thanks. Some quick thoughts, some trivial: 1. Only works if you've already built a great team with great culture. Wouldn't do it with a newly purchased bankrupt company for example. 2. This is odd. Ask someone in marketing if developer was going to raise the bar?

3. Why anonymous? Wouldn't people give a better more thought out opinion were they responsible for it? 4/5. I'm a big fan of already.
