Comment on Ask HN: What are good tech jobs that don't require being good at interviewing?parent

Comments

I'm willing to do take home projects when I know how they'll be evaluated. If you are willing to ask me to commit my time to something, and let me know what I'm getting for my investment of time, that goes a long way.

As an interviewer, I tend to avoid paying applicants. It just feels odd. Instead, I try to make the opportunity (interview plus potential job) as enticing as I can. Once it gets out that an that an interviewee pays interviewees, I'd be concerned that I'd attract "professional" interviewees who just want the money. As a blood bank, I wouldn't pay people to donate blood either for reasons that feel similar.
