Guides to screening technical candidates
What to actually test for, role by role. Each guide is written against the same premise as the product: a résumé tells you where someone has been, and only a work sample tells you what they can do. Including where that premise runs out.
- Five checksSeparating real skill from a good résumé.
- Assess a DevOps engineerJudgement under pressure, not tool familiarity.
- Assess a data engineerThe stakeholder half that screens never test.
- Assess an engineering managerAnd what no assessment can tell you.
