Hiring best practice? Suggestions/improvements? 1. Cull resumes hard using intuition/grammatical spelling and obvious errors 2. Video interview (in-person is better) 3. Test that replicates actual job 4. Video interview again to discuss work and check fit 5. Decide

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

I don't understand 2. Can you explain it?

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
