Comment on Interviews Can Be a Terrible Way to Identify Good Programmers

Comments

These articles reinforce something that someone told me a long time ago about a study about interviewing.

1. In most cases, the person (or the person in charge, if it is a panel) makes a decision in the first five minutes of the interview.

2. The decision is based on how much the candidate resembles the interviewer (i.e. how similar they are to the interviewer in terms of personality and skill set).
